Written question asked by Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 November 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 18 November 2021. It was answered by Victoria Atkins (Conservative) on Wednesday, 24 November 2021 on behalf of the Home Office.
Resettlement: Afghanistan
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many cases of (a) individuals and (b) family groups with a noted connection to West Ham constituency her Department is monitoring for inclusion within the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme.
- Answer
-
The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme is not yet open and remains under development.
As set out in the ‘Dear colleague’ letter to MP’s in September, the circumstances in Afghanistan are such that information regarding constituents’ friends and family members is not possible to obtain or may change very quickly. Regrettably, the Home Office is therefore unable to provide a response to correspondence relating to individuals still in Afghanistan.
Further information on the eligibility, prioritisation and referral of people for the ACRS is set out in the policy statement published on gov.uk on 13 September, available at www.gov.uk/government/publications/afghanistan-resettlement-and-immigration-policy-statement.
