last week, amber rudd told a commons committee that there were no targets at the home office.have targets for removals. brandon lewis says she was being asked about regionalised internal targets that she wasn't aware of. the chair of that committee, yvette cooper, has tweeted that that is clearly not true. meanwhile, more than 200 mps have signed a letter calling for assurances given to the windrush generation to be written into law. we have had a lot of nice words from the dispatch box but it means nothing if there aren't rights enshrined, in legislation and the best way to do that is with a quick statutory instrument in parliament. so people know what compensation they are getting, they know what the burden of proof is and they know that they won't be deported. the empire windrush... the windrush scandal has prodded some awkward questions for the conservative government. but a former liberal democrat minister thinks all the main parties share some responsibility. goes back to new labour, i think the working assumption that successive governments have made is that the public

amber rudd told a commons committee last week, that she wasn't aware of the targets, and days later saidetails of the policy. ms rudd has resisted growing calls for her resignation. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. archive fo0tage: the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. the plight of the windrush generation, commonwealth citizens and their families who came to britain after the war and has brought with it a new focus on government immigration policies. ministers were criticised for demanding that some of these legal migrants provide proof of their right to be here. but the home secretary was all at sea, when she was questioned by a committee of mps about the removal of illegal migrants last week. and targets for removals, when were they set? erm... we don't have targets for removals. today, the former immigration minister, who worked with amber rudd, said she had only really been asked about local internal targets, key performance indicators, that she had not known about at the time. she was asked about local regional internal kpis that the local enforcement

having said something different to a commons committee, her position became difficult to impossible. thing is that although she resigned for the narrow issue of inadvertent misleading, it has cleared the decks for a far bigger review of the whole approach to immigration. with sajid javid, the new home secretary, in place, seen as more liberal than theresa may, he now has to pick up the pieces of the mess, restore decent relations with the home office staff — there's a worry some of them were briefing against amber rudd — and he has to detoxify the tory party, with a reputation damaged by windrush. let's start by talking to nick watt. let's start with theresa may because a lot of the chapter today has been, amber rudd has gone, she is now exposed. is that how it works? horwill everybody move on? she is stronger tonight and she was last night. the feeling among tory mps is that that appointment of sajid javid will not exactly draw a line under the windrush affair but it will allow the government to open a new page. the new home secretary said he is no longer going to talk about a hosti

committee. yvette cooper asked something of a zinger of a question in the commons so i think we can expect moreime 110w over windrush this afternoon. time now for a look at the weather. early this morning it was beautiful. look at this in nottinghamshire. however, the shower clouds are gathering and becoming widespread. some in the last hour or so. some of those showers in towns. tied into this low pressure and the wind swinging around the north—westerly direction so that is where most of the showers tend to set but some of them are now starting to push further inland for the remainder of this afternoon. if you dodge the showers, and keeping the sunshine, temperatures are subdued for this time of year. as you go through the evening and overnight, some of the showers across england and wales in particular and much of eastern scotla nd particular and much of eastern scotland will fade away. showers die back to the north—west and temperatures and a clear skies will fall down to around three or 4 degrees in some spots. a chilly start to thursday but you have some sunshine to compensate. i suspect t
