Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many UK nationals have registered their presence in Afghanistan by using the (a) online form or (b) phone number accessed via the Afghanistan Travel Advice page of Gov.uk.

The 'Register your Presence in Afghanistan' form, launched on 30 August, has more than 4,200 British Nationals registered as of today. Registrations are still being submitted, therefore this number is likely to increase. We are working to verify how many of these are British nationals and are continuing to look at all possible avenues to ensure that any British Nationals are able to leave safely if they wish to.
