Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many families were split at Kabul airport during the Government’s evacuation of UK nationals and Afghan civilians from Afghanistan in August 2021.

Our Armed Forces, FCDO, Home Office, and MoD civilian staff worked tirelessly to bring over 15,000 people to safety in the UK over the two weeks of Operation Pitting. Our priority has been to keep families together wherever possible.
