Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to respond to the letter dated 9 September 2021, and follow-up letters of 8 November 2021 and 15 March 2022, from the hon. Member for Harrow West on behalf of his constituent Soraya Jan; and if she will make a statement.

The Minister for Afghan Resettlement wrote to all members on 13 September 2021 informing that we could not pursue cases concerning Afghan people in country in the usual ways, in view of the very difficult circumstances in Afghanistan. The Minister advised members to signpost individuals to gov.uk to check for the latest information about the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) and the Afghan Citizens’ Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), rather than to seek to pursue cases on their behalf.

Unfortunately, the MP Account Management Team has not received the follow-up letters of 8 November 2021 and 15 March 2022.
