The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what individual schemes for Afghan resettlement in the UK are available to be applied to under the Afghan Resettlement Programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP) is a cross-Government delivery programme which brings the existing resettlement schemes into one, single pipeline, to ensure optimal outcomes at each stage of the resettlement journey.

Under the ARP, the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) is the only scheme that individuals can apply to. Eligible individuals on the ACRS will continue to be prioritised and referred through one of three pathways.

Further information on the ARP can be found on Gov.uk here: Afghan Resettlement Programme
