This will provide certainty for citizens, businesses and residents in the SBAs.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence is unable to comment on specific cases. The Government recognises the vital role local staff played in operations in Afghanistan. Over 440 former staff who were made redundant after working for 12 months on the front line with our soldiers in Helmand are currently entitled to apply for visas to relocate with their immediate families to the UK; 1,255 staff and immediate family are now settled in the UK, including a number who were discharged with life-changing injuries; a small number remain to be relocated over the next few months.</p><p>More widely, we are the only nation with an expert team based in Kabul to investigate the concerns of former staff who are threatened because of their work with the UK. Any former staff who experience intimidation within Afghanistan because of their employment with the UK are strongly encouraged to contact the Intimidation Investigation Unit based in Kabul. Where employment-related intimidation is found, we will take steps to address the risk including security advice, relocation in country where this is needed, and relocation to UK where other measures will not resolve the risk.</p><p>Former staff who wish to claim asylum are subject to Home Office immigration policies.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 08/11/2018 14:31:16 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
