Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has been contacted by Afghan Chevening scholars in the last three weeks; and what her Department's policy is on eligibility of Afghan Chevening scholars for Government support.

All those brought to the UK under ARAP and ACRS will have the right to work, access to education and healthcare and be able to apply for public funds. The Afghan Chevening Scholars who arrived in the UK were given conditions of permission which allow them to start their course of study.

The Government has written to Local Authorities to confirm that evacuees from Afghanistan are eligible for Government support, including Chevening Scholars.
