Recommendation 6

The Government should not consider people evacuated under Operation Pitting under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), instead it should consider those people under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme (ARAP) or other pre-existing pathways. The ACRS should be reserved for people: • located in Afghanistan; • located in third countries; • who have travelled to the UK, without UK Government assistance, from Afghanistan.
