Debate

Afghan Special Forces Relocation Review

Contribution

I am very happy to meet the right hon. Gentleman to discuss any cases. On the conversation with the Pakistani Government, the main concern in relation to the Triples is about moving them out of Afghanistan and into Pakistan in the first place. The agreement we have with the Pakistani Government means that anyone who is being assessed as part of the ARAP scheme will not be deported back to Afghanistan, which is really important, but there is still a requirement to make sure that we can relocate eligible individuals and their immediate families to the UK in an appropriate and reasonable way.[Official Report, 11 November 2024; Vol. 756, c. 6WC.] (Correction) We are continuing that work, and we are continuing the dialogue with the Pakistani Government in relation to this issue.
