Afghanistan: Resettlement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many of the houses reacquired in January 2025 have been used to house Afghan families as part of (a) Operation Lazurite and (b) the Afghan Resettlement Scheme.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Operation LAZURITE is the Ministry of Defence operational contribution to the cross-Government Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP).
As at 1 May 2025, of the properties re-acquired by the Department in January 2025, 852 houses are allocated for ARP support, the majority of which were in use for ARP prior to the reacquisition.
