Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy principal applicants were considered eligible by the Ministry of Defence but subsequently refused by her Department on national security grounds in each month since April 2021.

The evacuation of eligible people from Afghanistan was a humanitarian effort- and at every step of the process, the security and safety of the UK and its citizens was front of mind. Where a threat is identified, it is investigated and we do not hesitate to take robust action against anyone who poses a threat to the UK.

Information relating to how many individuals have been refused under the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy on national security grounds is sensitive and is not published. We have no current plans to publish these figures.
