Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many places remain to be allocated under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme; and how many of those given protection under the scheme to date are British nationals or people living in the UK.

The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) commenced on 6th January. The ACRS will provide up to 20,000 women, children and others at risk with a safe and legal route to resettle in the UK.

We are unable to give statistics of those in the scheme due to the continuing flow of people being welcomed. We will include this data within published resettlement statistics later in 2022.
