Hundreds of EU citizens use Windrush scheme to stay in UK

About 800 EU citizens have been granted the right to remain in the UK using a system intended for those affected by the Windrush scandal.
Many are using it because of a lack of trust in the government's main EU settlement scheme, which MPs have said is "blighted" by technical issues.
Unlike the Windrush scheme, it does not provide a physical ID card showing a person's indefinite right to stay.
The Home Office said it gives people "secure digital status".
