Resettlement: Afghanistan
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will increase the number of places in Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme Pathway 3.
- Answer
-
Under the first stage of the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) Pathway 3, we are offering resettlement places to up to 1,500 eligible individuals from the three identified cohorts which are British Council contractors, GardaWorld contractors and Chevening alumni.
We recognise there are many vulnerable individuals who remain in Afghanistan and the region. However, it is important we take into account the capacity of the UK to resettle people is not unlimited and difficult decisions have to be made on who will be prioritised for resettlement.
