THIS week the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, said he would consider publishing a report into the conduct of civil servants during the Windrush scandal after it was initially announced it would not be published.

This report came about after his predecessor Amber Rudd stepped down as home secretary, having given the home affairs select committee incorrect information about targets for removing illegal migrants when answering questions about the Windrush crisis.

After her resignation, Home Office permanent secretary Sir Philip Rutnam commissioned a report by Sir Alex Allan, the Prime Minister’s adviser on ministers’ interests, to examine the quality of the information given to Rudd before the meeting, but has said it will not be published.
