Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Biometric Residence Permit cards have been issued to individuals who have been granted leave to remain in the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme to date.

Between 15 and 29 August, the Department evacuated over 15,000 people from Afghanistan.

The Home Office is supporting those currently in the UK with 6 months leave to apply for and be granted ILR. Our aim is to conclude this process before individuals’ leave to remain expires.

The data on those who have received their Biometrics Residency Permits is internal management data and therefore not suitable for publication at this stage.
