However, his government is being criticised citing that many people have been left stranded in Afghanistan
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday said Britain owed ‘an immense debt’ to Afghans who worked with NATO forces as he announced ‘vital support’ for those resettling in the UK. But his government is coming under fire after thousands of Afghans who helped NATO and are eligible to move to Britain under the "Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap)" were believed to be have been left stranded in Afghanistan. More than 8,000 did make it out, and the government announced on Wednesday that they will be given immediate indefinite leave to remain. The government also announced that £15 million would be provided for additional school places and to support access to the health service.More Related News
