The Home Office is unaware of how many individuals resettled in the UK under the ARAP programme since its first operation in 2021 have been convicted of a crime in the UK since their arrival. You’d think they would like to know…
The Home Office says it has no central record and it would have to “datamatch thousands of Afghan national records” in order to provide an answer to the above. Meaning there is a frankly bizarre situation in which councils are reporting some ARAP arrivals as serious “cases of interest” to the Home Office which itself has no clear recording system for when they commit a crime…
Mahmood’s department adds in a response to Guido’s FOI Unit:
“the Home Office is currently engaged in a process of work to assess the quality of the data we hold in relation to FNOs. This is to consider what action may be taken to address those data quality issues that will enable a more accurate response to requests regarding foreign nationals convicted of crimes.”
Good to know…
