It is not always possible to know whether all eligible persons are still in the country as some may be out of contact or have moved independently to a safe country.</p><p>Neighbouring countries are discouraging movement of Afghans without passports and visas. Whilst we have arrangements for moving people that are operationally sensitive, this can only be achieved at a rate that partners are content to support. The UK government continues to bring people out at the best pace possible.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 05/08/2022 14:07:24 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
