House of Lords #AfghanAllies amendment #RwandaBill is “absolutely crucial” as “safe resettlement routes are neither fast nor reliable enough”. As GOV.UK recently admitted, over 800 #ARAP applicants have been waiting for >1 year for a decision Holly Bancroft independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

💔story Haroon Siddique about #AfghanInterpreter who can't bring his wife through #ARAP resettlement, cause he is UK citizen. We support a few interpreters in same position. They thought that with citizenship they gained, not lost family reunion rights😢theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

This week in the #HouseOfLords :

Members asked the government to think again on exemptions for UK allies overseas and deeming Rwanda as a safe country in the #RwandaBill .

The bill now returns to the UK House of Commons.
