We take our responsibilities to the Iraqi interpreters who worked with UK forces in Iraq extremely seriously.As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister announced in his statement of 8 October 2007, Official Report, column 23, we introduced a policy that allowed eligible former Iraqi interpreters to settle in the UK through the Gateway protection programme. Currently some 589 Iraqi interpreters and their families, including those used by the other employing departments based in Iraq, have chosen to settle in the UK under this programme.
