Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate his Department has made of how many (a) principals and (b) dependents who are potentially eligible for relocation to the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme are in Afghanistan .
We estimate that 378 principal applicants and approximately 1,512 family members remain in Afghanistan.
This figure is reducing as we continue to support the relocation of eligible Afghans and their families out of Afghanistan and into the safety of third countries at best pace.
