Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the longest outstanding Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy application is that is awaiting assessment by his Department.

The longest outstanding ARAP application awaiting an eligibility decision was submitted on 8 April 2021.

This case relates to an individual who will likely be ineligible as a consequence of misconduct. This case has been deprioritised because we know the individual is safely in a European third country.
