Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025

Debate

Afghanistan

Contribution

“With permission, Mr Speaker, I wish to make a Statement on a significant data protection breach from February 2022 relating to the Afghan relocations and assistance policy. It led to the High Court granting an unprecedented super-injunction and the previous Government establishing a secret Afghan resettlement route. Today, I am announcing to the House a change in government policy. I am closing that resettlement route, disclosing the data loss and confirming that the court order was lifted at noon today.
