Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has planned with Taliban leaders in Afghanistan on the safe exit of people from Afghanistan.

Safe passage is one of the UK Government's key objectives in Afghanistan. HMG officials regularly engage in pragmatic dialogue with the Taliban to pursue UK priorities, including ensuring safe passage. The UK Government has supported over 3,400 individuals to leave Afghanistan since the end of Op PITTING. This includes over 1,200 British nationals and eligible dependants. We will continue to work to ensure those still in Afghanistan are able to depart the country safely if they wish to do so.
