She also names the government's "hostile environment policy" as the cause of the problem and says it's time for it to end.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott says there are "few more patriotic people" than West Indians of this generation.

She calls for an apology for anyone who has been mistakenly deported, noting that as home secretary, Theresa May, removed the immigration protections that existed for Commonwealth citizens.

She says this scandal "did not fall from the skies" but follows from government efforts to create a "hostile environment for migrants".

Amber Rudd replies that the UK admires those who came and made their lives in the UK.

She states that the Home Office "can sometimes lose sight of the individual" in striving to work on policy and strategy.

She has set a clear time limit on when this must be solved by, she states. The department will work on getting the documents for those who need it.

She clarifies that she has asked high commissioners for deportation cases as the Home Office is not aware of any cases where this has happened.

Labour's David Lammy says the relationship between the UK and the Caribbean is "inextricable" and his parents arrived as British citizens.

He says of those who've had their right to be here questioned, "it's inhumane and cruel to have suffered so long in this way".

Of the reported deportations, he says "it's her department - she should know the number".

He further claims that this situation is in line with "far-right rhetoric" and "if you lie down with dogs you get fleas".

Home Secretary Amber Rudd says that she recognises the "concern from some people in the Windrush generation".

There is absolutely "no question" of their right to remain, she states, and she apologises for any confusion and anxiety felt.

She adds that there are some who have never had their immigration status in the UK formalised, so today she says she is creating a special team who will resolve cases within two weeks once evidence has been provided.

She adds that the group will not pay for the documentation. There is a webpage, and the government has spoken to ambassadors, high commissioners and others about the ongoing situation.

She hopes that this will provide these people with the reassurance they need.

Labour MP David Lammy has tabled an urgent question on immigration cases relating to the "Windrush generation". Some long term UK residents who arrived from the Commonwealth as children have been told that they are here illegally.

They are known as the "Windrush generation" after the ship, the Empire Windrush, that brought the first Caribbean workers to the UK in 1948.

Under the 1971 Immigration Act Commonwealth citizens living in the UK were given indefinite leave to remain, but no records were kept by the Home Office and no paperwork confirming people's right to live in the UK was issued.

A letter to the prime minister, coordinated by Labour MP David Lammy and signed by 140 MPs from six political parties, is calling for an "immediate and effective" response to what it calls a "crisis".

Earlier today, Immigration Minister Caroline Noakes admitted "terrible mistakes" and the prime minister promised to meet Commonwealth leaders to discuss the issue later this week.

Labour's Lucy Powell asks a topical question on those affected by the Windrush Home Office documentation checks.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd says she is "deeply concerned" about the experiences of those from the Windrush generation.

It is a "unique cohort" of people who have automatic leave to remain in the UK. Ms Rudd says that today there is a new team in the Home Office who are tasked with helping these applicants remain in the UK.

The cases should be resolved within two weeks of the documentation being provided.

She states she will meet High Commissioners later this week.

Ms Powell says this is "too little too late for many" and that it is a demonstration of the "over pernicious" work of the Home Office.

She says that the department targets "soft targets" rather than true illegal immigrants.

Ms Rudd states that because the department is going after the "illegal cohort" some are "caught up in it".

She says she is putting in place "particular arrangements" to support those from Windrush.

Conservative Anne-Marie Trevelyan asks what progress has been made in placing Syrian families in the UK.

Home Office Minister Caroline Nokes says that the government is making sure it will meet its commitments, as it is currently half way to resettling 20,000 refugees. As of December, 10,538 refugees had been welcomed to the UK under the scheme, she states.

Ms Trevelyan states that Northumberland County Council is providing support for 28 families and their 41 children, and she says that the area is short of foster carers for the unaccompanied child refugees.

Ms Nokes says the government is currently looking at boosting fostering capacity, including putting extra funding into training courses for 1,000 extra foster carers.

Northumberland County Council was recently a beneficiary of such a scheme, she says.

Conservative Baroness McIntosh of Pickering asks what assessment has been made of the implications for business of a short transition period as part of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.

She says the end of the transition period is being brought forward by three months and asks about preparedness, highlighting the "vexed question" of rules of origin and food safety standards.

She's concerned about how food producers and businesses will be able to keep trading with the EU after Brexit.

Brexit Minister Lord Callanan responds that the transition period is designed to ensure businesses only have to undergo one set of changes and tells the House that arrangements are "under constant review to make sure everything is in place".

Labour's Lucy Powell asks what assessment has been made in the effectiveness of policing gangs.

Home Office Minister Nick Hurd says that the government launched a serious violence strategy last week. It will allow police to independently assess the effectiveness of policing in this area, he states.

Ms Powell replies that prevention is "key" in policing youth violence; too often, BME young people are given the label of a gang, when they are just a group of youths, she says.

Mr Hurd states that there is a balance between intervention and steering young people away from violent crime. He says it is important to lead young people away from these lives which can have "devastating consequences".

Question time is under way in the Lords, with Labour's Lord Harris of Haringey asking about the use of public alert technology on mobile phones in event of a terrorist incident.

He says trials were conducted nearly five years ago, and asks: "Why is it taking so long to implement something that could potentially save lives?"

Cabinet Office spokesman Lord Young of Cookham says initial analysis will be produced next month, telling peers "it has real potential".

But he says there are issues over whether everyone would want to be contacted.
