Recommendation 19

The Triples Review revealed serious administrative failings in the handling of ARAP applications from former members of Afghan specialist units who had worked closely with UK forces. The high overturn rate showed that earlier determinations that applicants were not eligible for relocation could not be treated as reliable. The government therefore has a special responsibility to former Triples whose applications were wrongly refused and who, because of those failings and subsequent delay, may have spent additional years in hiding or been left to make their own way to a third country. (Conclusion, Paragraph 199) 72
