answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2018 answer text <p>Her Majesty's Government does not have one single overarching policy but instead has two specific Cabinet Office agreed policies for Iraq and Afghanistan. The Iraq policy ensured all Iraqi interpreters who fulfilled the eligibility criteria for relocation, and asked to be, were relocated to the UK. Threat to life from insurgent/militia attacks outside of the working environment was a central consideration in the design of the scheme's eligibility criteria.</p><p>In Afghanistan, our Intimidation Policy supports all former locally employed staff who believe they are in danger as a result of their UK employment, irrespective of date, role, or length of service. Due to the concerted effort when employing local staff in Afghanistan, not to employ individuals from the local area, and to provide accommodation on base, the risk of off duty attacks was significantly lower and as such it was not necessary to relocate all interpreters to ensure their safety.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 27/04/2018 13:50:35 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2018 answer text <p>The Department only has contact with Afghan former locally employed staff if: they have reported intimidation to the Intimidation Investigation Unit in Kabul, they are in receipt of an option under the Ex-Gratia Scheme, or they are employed by a contractor that provides services to one of our bases. The Department avoids unnecessary contact with former staff as current association with the UK could put them at risk.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/04/2018 16:19:17 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
