Resettlement schemes for Afghans to come to the UK will be merged into one and will eventually be closed down, the government has announced.
Defence secretary John Healey has said that the new single pathway will “ensure value for money for the taxpayer”. In a statement to MPs, Mr Healey added that providing safety to these Afghans “cannot be an endless process”, adding: “The government intends to reach a position where the UK Afghan resettlement schemes can be closed”.
