Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many cases have been accepted under the Afghan citizens resettlement scheme.

The UK has made an ambitious and generous commitment to help at-risk people in Afghanistan and, so far, we have brought around 24,600 people to safety, including thousands of people eligible for our Afghan schemes. We continue to honour our commitments to bring eligible Afghans to the UK.

The latest published Operational data fact sheet on Afghan resettlement schemes shows the following by ACRS pathway, we have now resettled: 9,676 individuals under ACRS Pathway 1, 66 individuals under ACRS Pathway 2 and 41 individuals under ACRS Pathway 3.

Operational data is viewable at: Afghan Resettlement Programme: operational data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Afghan operational data is released quarterly with the next publication due around the 23^rd November 2023.
