Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of Afghans that have come to the UK via the Afghan Resettlement Programme worked directly for the British Armed Forces in Afghanistan.

The Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP) is a cross-government delivery programme which will bring existing Afghan resettlement routes into onesingle pipeline. The ARP is designed to make the delivery of these resettlement schemes simpler and more cost-effective, to help deliver better outcomes overall.

As stated in my answer to the Hon. Member’s question 26781 of 30 January 2025, over 30,000 eligible Afghans have been relocated to the UK under the resettlement schemes. It is not possible to provide a breakdown of relocation figures by job role, including those who worked directly for British Forces, at this time.
