Windrush Defenders Legal C.I.C. sent a letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel on Windrush Day 2020, recommending all people born as either British Subjects prior to 1948 or as Citizens of the UK and Colonies post-1948 and who had been settled in the UK for a period of 5 years by 1 January 1983, should, for the purposes of the Immigration Act 1971 and the British Nationality Act 1981, be treated as having continued to be Citizens of the UK and Colonies throughout this period irrespective of the impact of any independence legislation passed in relation to their countries of origin.

Anthony Brown argues an additional payment should be made on top of any compensation to everyone that successfully applies to the Windrush Scheme from the Caribbean who came before 1st January 1973 of £10,000 automatically as a symbolic payment of reparation for the removal of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies status of those of the Windrush Generation who were settled in the UK and the ‘serious harm’ cited in recommendation (1) of the Wendy Williams Windrush Lessons Learned Review.
