Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
I can say to the noble Baroness that a number of its members left, but I will write to her in this respect to allow for further questions.
Baroness Barker (LD)
My Lords, I am part of a charity that managed to facilitate the extraction of a number of LGBT people from Afghanistan. Fortunately, some of them came to Britain. However, others are stuck in neighbouring countries, where although not facing certain death they are still in grave danger. Can the Minister say what is being done to enable those people to come to the United Kingdom?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My Lords, as I have already said to the noble Lord, Lord Cashman, we will continue to work with them. If the noble Baroness has any specific information to assist, I will of course be pleased to meet her.
