Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people who have come to the UK from Afghanistan and are waiting for resettlement are residing in (a) quarantine and (b) bridging hotels was at 19 October 2021.

We can confirm that on 19 October, none of the individuals evacuated from Afghanistan as part of Operation Pitting were in managed quarantine hotels as they had already completed their quarantine period; Save for those already permanently settled in accommodation, who have their own means of accommodation, or are a third country nationals in transit. All those evacuated under Op Pitting are currently in bridging accommodation.
