Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary publish the number of resettled Afghans coming to Wales under the Afghan resettlement programme, broken down by the local authority in which they will be resettled?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
The Afghan Resettlement Programme is a UK Government programme. Data relating to it is therefore owned by the UK Government, not the Welsh Government. Regional and local authority data relating to immigration groups can be found here: Regional and local authority data on immigration groups - GOV.UK
These schemes are for Afghan citizens who assisted UK efforts in Afghanistan, and who either worked for or with the UK government, have been prioritised as vulnerable people, or certain individuals impacted by the data incident.
