The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) men, (b) women, (c) male children and (d) female children have come to the UK via the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme since 6 January 2022.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Statistics on individuals resettled or relocated under the Afghan schemes are available in the Immigration System Statistics release. These statistics provide a breakdown by age and gender. For a summary of the data, see the resettlement section of the ‘How many people come to the UK via safe and legal (humanitarian) routes?’ chapter; for detailed data, see table Asy_D02 of the asylum and resettlement datasets.

Afghan Operational Data is published quarterly and is viewable at: Afghan Resettlement Programme: operational data - GOV.UK.
