Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to include former Chevening scholars in the Afghan citizens' resettlement scheme.
We successfully evacuated the majority of Afghan Chevening scholars in this year’s cohort and will continue to do all we can to support the small number who remain in Afghanistan.
The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) is not yet open. Information on the eligibility, prioritisation and referral of people for the ACRS is set out in the policy statement published on gov.uk on 13 September, available at Afghanistan resettlement and immigration policy statement - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
