As of 10 March 2023, of those approved for the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme before the end of Op PITTING, we believe five remain in Afghanistan. However, it is not possible to definitively know whether these five individuals do remain in Afghanistan, as they may have left the country through another route. As noted in your answer on 12 January 2023, we continue to actively support their relocations to the UK.
