Conclusion
The Department reiterated its commitment to implementing the 30 recommendations of the Windrush lessons learned review.

It stressed the need to understand the scale of transformation that would be involved in delivering on these commitments, which would include setting a vision and values for the whole Department as it implements the 52 Q 84 53 Qq 50–52 54 Qq 84, 85 55 Qq 58, 84 56 Q 53 57 Qq 55–60 58 Qq 9, 11 59 Qq 65–66 16 Immigration enforcement new immigration system.
