I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave to question 97484 for Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) application figures for October and November 2022.

In December 2022, 1,401 applications were received, of which approximately 632 were duplicates, while an approximate 6,428 applications were processed. Of the processed applications, 2,741 decisions were issued to principal applicants which simultaneously processed 3,687 duplicate applications.

ARAP application figures are collated on a monthly basis and as such complete figures for January 2023 figures can be provided when requested after the 31st of the month.
