Afghanistan: Resettlement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to ensure that vulnerable Afghan family members are included in any new resettlement scheme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Government announced in December 2024 the launch of the Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP), a cross-Government programme that will bring existing Afghan resettlement schemes into one single pipeline. Whilst this is not a new resettlement scheme, it will ensure we support those eligible Afghans and their family members, including those who are vulnerable, to rebuild their lives in the UK.
