To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer 17 May 2023 to Question 184350 on Refugees: Afghanistan, how many of those eligible in the first stage of ACRS Pathway 3 have been resettled in the UK.

We have welcomed the first arrivals to the UK under the first stage of Pathway 3 and look forward to welcome all remaining individuals under this stage as soon as practicable.
