Afghanistan: Refugees

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many ARAP-eligible (a) principals and (b) family members have arrived in the UK in each of the last six months.

Answer

The total number of Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) eligible principals and family members relocated to the UK under the ARAP scheme since December 2022 is included in the table below.

It is important that the Government takes steps to ensure that when Afghans are relocated under the ARAP scheme that necessary support mechanisms are in place and they move into appropriate, settled accommodation to set them up for a successful life here in the UK.
