All Afghans arriving in the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) are being resettled due to their contribution to UK military and national security objectives during our mission in Afghanistan.
To temporarily house families arriving in the UK under ARAP, the Ministry of Defence has stood up transitional accommodation across the Defence Estate, including at Nesscliffe Training Area. The Ministry of Defence keeps all transitional accommodation under review in order to manage changes to the arrival and departure rate.
Transitional accommodation on the Defence estate is being used on a temporary basis prior to ARAP-eligible Afghans onward movement into settled accommodation as quickly as possible.
Nesscliffe Training Camp will, in due course, be returned to its previous use.

That this House is deeply concerned by the conduct of Ministry of Defence officials and Ministers not engaging with the community of Nesscliffe in Shropshire and surrounding villages over the use of an Army camp to house a significant number of Afghan refugees; believes that the wall of silence from the Ministry of Defence towards the local councillor and parish councils is unacceptable; and urges that a senior representative of the Ministry of Defence or a Minister be appointed to engage with the community of Nesscliffe as a matter of urgency and that a public meeting is held in the village hall with Ministry of Defence officials so that local residents are afforded the opportunity to raise concerns and questions.
