Afghanistan: Resettlement
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 28 April 2022 to Question 156378 on Afghanistan: Refugees, how many and what proportion of applications under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy received by his Department in (a) April and (b) May 2022 (i) have been processed with a final decision given and (ii) await a decision on eligibility as of 9 June 2022.
- Answer
-
Applications are being processed almost entirely in the order they were received. Many applications received each month are duplicates of existing applications or are being submitted by Afghan citizens with no eligibility. We are working to accelerate the speed at which we reject these applications whilst continuing to work through the large volume of more likely legitimate applications received.
