A woman detained in Yarl's Wood and threatened with deportation after living in the UK for almost 50 years says she still feels hurt at how she was treated.

Paulette Wilson arrived in Telford from Jamaica in 1968 aged 10 as part of the Windrush generation but in August 2015 her benefits were stopped and she was later detained for a week.

The 61-year-old was told by the Home Office in January she can stay.

It comes as Prime Minister Theresa May will seek to reassure Caribbean leaders later today that the Windrush generation will not be deported over paperwork issues.

The government has apologised after it emerged that some people who arrived from the Commonwealth decades ago as children were now being incorrectly identified as illegal immigrants.

"The first time a baby's own immune system has to respond are to those first few bacteria," says Professor Peter Brocklehurst, from the University of Birmingham.

Reverend Dr Carver Anderson, who came to Birmingham in 1967, when he was nine, said many people have been left "deeply, deeply disturbed" by their treatment at the hands of the Home Office.

"I hear they're committed to look at evidence for someone's right to remain in this country, but that within itself is traumatic, what will happen if I can't find all the evidence," he said.

And he said any committee set up to look at the issue needs to be "sensitive and very caring and very considerate about the human beings that they will be talking to about their residency in this country".
