Afghan Resettlement Update

Proceeding contribution from Clive Efford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 March 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghan Resettlement Update.

My constituent’s wife is trapped in Afghanistan. She applied for a visa to come as a spouse. It took eight months to get a decision, but the application was turned down because there was a discrepancy of 33p a month in his salary with what he had put in the original application. The way the Government are treating people from Afghanistan is a disgrace. We need to ensure that people are treated fairly and that their applications are looked at. When there is a genuine application, as there is in this case, the Government should make the right decision.
