00:00Well, today is Windrush Day, so it's a day about telling the history of Windrush, the
00:05great contribution that's been made to this country and the change that's brought about.
00:10But it also needs to be a reset day, and that's why I was very pleased to be able to talk
00:14to people about this reset today, because the compensation scheme which is there to
00:19deal with the real injustice is going too slowly. We've got too many examples of people
00:24who've died before they've got the compensation that they're entitled to. The Windrush unit
00:28needs to be re-established in the Home Office, and we will set up a permanent commissioner
00:33to be a champion of and an advocate for the Windrush generation to make sure that these
00:38injustices are put right.
