Our armed forces and Civil Service staff worked around the clock to evacuate over 15,000 people.</p><p>At the same time, the Government has worked at pace to develop and launch a new and bespoke resettlement scheme, announced on 18 August, which will relocate 5,000 vulnerable Afghans in its first year, rising to 20,000 over the long-term – one of the most generous schemes in British history.</p><p>Under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), we will work with the United Nations and aid agencies to identify those at risk, as we have done in respect of those who fled the war in Syria - but we will also include people who have contributed to civil society or face a particular risk from the Taliban, for example, because of their role in standing up for democracy and human rights, or because of their gender, sexuality or religion. We are working at pace to get the ACRS up and running and we will announce further details as soon as possible.</p><p>The UK has a proud history of welcoming those in need and has resettled over 25,000 people in need of protection since 2015. We look forward to welcoming thousands more in the years to come, supporting them to begin new lives in safety here in the United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 13/09/2021 16:35:39 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins previous answer version 20459 answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
