		</div><p>A warning not to water down a review into the Windrush scandal has been issued after it was reported that a portion branding the British Home Office “institutionally racist” was stripped out.</p>
<p>The delayed independent review was commissioned after people with a right to live in Britain were wrongfully detained or deported to the Caribbean.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The Times reported sources saying the phrase “institutionally racist” was included in an earlier draft of the Windrush review produced by investigation leader Wendy Williams, but had subsequently been removed.</p>
<p>UK Labour Party MP David Lammy, a vocal campaigner over the scandal caused by the department’s “hostile environment” policy, demanded that the “truth must be published in full”.</p>
<p>“The Windrush scandal resulted in the systematic deportation and detention of black British citizens by the Home Office,” the MP for Tottenham, London said.</p>
<blockquote><p>It would be an outrage and an insult to the Windrush generation for Wendy Williams&#8217; independent review to be watered down for political reasons</p></blockquote>
<p>“The victims’ nationality and rights were denied because of the colour of their skin. If this is not institutionally racist, I have no idea what is.</p>
<p>The British Home Office did not deny the report had been toned down.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“This is an independent review being led by Wendy Williams,” a spokesman said.</p>
<p>“She has not yet submitted the final report to the Home Office.</p>
<p>“Once we have received it, we will publish it as soon as practicable. Ministers have not seen any version of the report.”</p>
