Up to 160,000 other Commonwealth citizens could be affected by issues highlighted by the Windrush scandal, including many in Hackney.
See the Public Accounts Committee report here. I continue to press the Government for action.
The Government's post-Brexit immigration system needs to reflect the needs of the tech sector.
I'll be following up with the Home Secretary to make sure Hackney's interests are protected.
Many Hackney residents are impacted by the Cladding Scandal.
They are now mortgage prisoners, facing life-changing bills and an uncertain future. We must find a solution quickly!
Today, I urged the Government to schedule more time in Parliament to discuss this crisis.
After 10 years of austerity, Hackney Council’s budget has been cut by nearly half meaning vital services are being squeezed.
The new money promised by this Government doesn’t go far enough to make up for a decade of cuts.
The Windrush scandal exposed the Home Office’s systemic problems. Too many in Hackney are being let down.
To cope with Windrush and the potential non-Caribbean Commonwealth applications as well as EU citizens major improvements must be made.
I repeatedly challenged the Government to step up its efforts and ensure mistakes aren’t repeated.
I’m standing up for Hackney residents facing large bills to replace cladding that is now deemed unsafe.
If you’re affected, please let me know by emailing me at meg.hillier.mp@parliament.uk
We may have left the EU, but Hackney will always be European.
If you ever need my help, let me know!

I will continue to fight hard for you in Parliament in 2020.
The bedroom tax policy does not work.
On one estate, the Wenlock Barn estate in Hoxton, 74 families are hit by this policy and they do not have an option to move to a different property.
If the Prime Minister was serious about his desire to be a one nation Conservative, it is a policy that he should abolish right now.
