Afghan refugees still in UK hotels two years on - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight has covered the fate of Afghans who worked for, or with, the UK government in Afghanistan and then were evacuated here to safety under the government's ARAP and ACRS schemes when the Taliban returned to power.
Yesterday was the government's self-imposed deadline for all those still in "bridging hotels" to be moved into for permanent accommodation.
At the end of March the Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer accepted there were still 8000 in hotels, and insisted that by yesterday there would be none. So where are we now?
Well the government has told us they will have the figures in a few weeks time, but Newsnight has learned that there are still Afghans in the ARAP scheme in hotels across the UK.
