A MEMBER of the Windrush generation has been charged thousands for cancer treatment after the Home Office lost his papers and denied him leave to remain, the High Court heard today.

The man, known only as MP, moved from St Lucia aged 14 with his family more than 40 years ago and has lived in Britain ever since.

Now nearly 60, he was diagnosed with the incurable blood cancer myeloma in 2015 and has required chemotherapy and stem cell treatment to put his cancer in remission.
