Mahmood is expected to reopen the UK Resettlement Scheme, allowing refugees to be resettled in the UK under the programme once again.
Around 25% of arrivals under the scheme are expected to be Afghan women and girls and Palestinians. The available information does not provide further details about the timetable for reopening, the number of people involved or the arrangements for their arrival.
The scheme’s reopening would restore a route for refugee resettlement in the UK, with Afghan women and girls and Palestinians forming a significant proportion of those expected to arrive. Further information about the programme and its implementation has not been supplied.
