Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Afghans who (a) worked for British forces and (b) are dependents of people who worked for British forces were brought to the United Kingdom via the Afghan Response Route.

Approximately 4,500 people have been relocated or are in transit to the UK via the ARR (900 principal applicants and 3,600 eligible family members). ARR eligibility was only granted for those individuals who were previously thought to be at highest risk of targeting by the Taleban as a result of their personal details being included in the February 2022 data incident under the previous Government..

It is not possible to provide a breakdown of relocation figures by job role, including those who worked directly for British Forces, at this time.
