To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the total number of decisions taken on applications through the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme was since its establishment on 1 April 2021.

As of 20 March 2023, decisions have been reached on approximately 21,010 unique applications since the start of the ARAP scheme. Of these unique applications, approximately 3,393 were found eligible and 17,617 were ineligible. All figures provided are from a live database and are subject to change.
Applicants to the ARAP scheme often submit multiple applications, so reaching a decision on one unique application closes other open applications submitted by the same applicant.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
