Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many requests he has received as at the date of answering from hon. Members on behalf of Afghan citizens who wish to come to the UK since 15 August 2021.

Multiple Government departments have been contacted by MPs regarding Afghan citizens requesting relocation to the UK, which has resulted in large quantities of duplicate correspondence. Colleagues across Government have worked hard to triage these to the most appropriate points of contact, and to provide appropriate answers as swiftly as possible.
