An emergency resettlement scheme for those affected by the breach, the Afghanistan Response Route, was set up in April 2024 and has seen 4,500 Afghans so far arrive in the UK. It has cost £400m, with a projected final cost of about £850m. A total of 6,900 people are expected to come to the UK under this scheme, which has now closed.

The government said that information about 18,000 Afghans was accidentally revealed in 2022. A legal order had prevented any reporting on the subject.
