Resettlement: Afghanistan
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how any Afghan former interpreters who worked with UK armed forces in Afghanistan have been relocated to the UK; how many are eligible for relocation but are awaiting security clearance before travel; and how long it is expected to take to relocate all eligible interpreters to the UK.
- Answer

It is not possible to provide a breakdown of relocation figures by job role at this time.
As of 25 November 2024, we have relocated over 19,000 eligible individuals (including applicants and their families) to safety in the UK. The Government is committed to delivering on the commitments made under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme, with multiple Government Departments playing a key role to deliver this service.
