What happened
Home Office decisions kept Tony Hall on a deportation list for 14 years, preventing him from working, renting, or receiving benefits, despite receiving vocational training. This situation is part of the Windrush scandal, which involved migrants from Caribbean Commonwealth countries being wrongly treated as illegal immigrants.
