I know many residents throughout Carshalton and Wallington have been involved in the Afghan relocation scheme - just as they have with the Homes for Ukraine programme, a testament to our community's spirit and pride - so I wanted to use the opportunity to raise this directly with the Minister at today's Defence Questions.
Alongside noting my personal thanks to the MoD team heading up the relocation programme, I was also able to ask the Minister for updated figures as to just how many people have been resettled as part of the programme since the beginning of Operation Pitting.
You can watch my full question, and the Minister's answer, in the video above.
Likewise, if you are currently facing issues with the Afghan resettlement scheme, or with Homes for Ukraine, please do get in touch with my team and I, to see if we can help in anyway. You can email the office at info@elliotcolburn.co.uk.
