Afghanistan: Resettlement
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many of the 13,958 principal applicants to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy found to be ineligible were Afghan nations who served alongside UK forces in roles not directly employed by the UK, including personnel attached to NATO and International Security Assistance Force missions.
- Answer
-
It is not possible to provide a comprehensive breakdown of figures by employment dates or job roles, including those who worked in NATO and International Security Assistance Force command structures. This is because this information is not presented in a format that is readily available, nor included in published statistics.
Each ARAP scheme application is assessed individually against the eligibility criteria outlined under the Immigration Rules: Appendix ARAP. Applicants cannot directly apply under a particular category. Further information on this can be found in the attached and at the following link:
