Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Government plans to commence operation of the second pathway for referral under the Afghan citizens resettlement scheme.
This question was answered on 17th May 2022
The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme commenced on 6th January, providing up to 20,000 women, children and others at risk with a safe and legal route to resettle in the UK.
Regarding Pathway 2, we are working closely with UNHCR and continue to work towards receiving referrals shortly. Those referred by UNHCR will be assessed for resettlement by UNHCR using their established process, and in line with their resettlement submission categories.
