Ministry of Defence written question – answered on 7 September 2023.
Dan Jarvis
Shadow Minister (Home Office) (Security)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Afghans have been accepted under Category 3 of the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme since August 2021.
James Heappey
Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)
Since the end of Op PITTING and the UK's presence in Afghanistan, our ability to offer any in-country support has been severely affected as such we have not accepted anyone under Category 3 of the ARAP scheme. As a result, our priority has been to focus on those eligible for relocation via other categories of the ARAP scheme.
