The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if the new refugee study and work pathway schemes will be open to nationals from Sudan and Afghanistan.

Answered by Mike Tapp

In the Restoring Order and Control policy statement, the Government committed to transforming its approach to safe and legal routes. This included the creation of a named sponsorship scheme and capped routes for refugee and displaced students to come to the UK to study or for work.

Eligibility requirements for the route, including who will be eligible, have yet to be set. Further details, including eligibility requirements, will be set out in due course.
