Afghanistan: Refugees

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of Afghan interpreters who requested resettlement have been accommodated in the UK.

Since the launch of the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme in April 2021, we have received over 141,000 applications, and have relocated over 12,200 eligible individuals and their family members to safety in the UK.

We are unable to breakdown our figures by specific job role.
