Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many refugee claims have been accepted under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme since April 2023.
Since 1 April 2023, a total of 372 Principal applicants have been found eligible for relocation under the ARAP scheme.
I should note that the ARAP scheme is an application-based scheme offering support and assistance to those who worked for or alongside the UK in Afghanistan. It is not intended as a relocation scheme for refugees.
