Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of how many people evacuated from Afghanistan under Operation Pitting in August 2021 were separated from (1) their partner, and (2) children under the age of 18.

The recent update to the published 'Afghan Resettlement: Operational Data', shows that, at 4^th November 2022:

• 22,833 individuals from Afghanistan have been brought to safety in the UK (since the end of June 2021).

Whilst Home Office are currently not able to provide a breakdown of this data for family members, work is underway to assure information relating to all the individuals relocated under the ARAP and ACRS on case working systems. Once this work concludes, further statistics on both schemes - including the number of people resettled under each - will be included in the published Immigration Statistics.
