Minister admits first people to be accepted under scheme already live in UK
The Home Office has been accused of failing to prioritise the most vulnerable people in Afghanistan after admitting that some of the first people to be accepted under a resettlement scheme are already living in the UK.
The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), first announced in August to resettle up to 20,000 people over four years, was designed to offer sanctuary to “vulnerable people, including women and girls at risk, and members of minority groups at risk” after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.
