Defence Committee: Afghan Data Breach and Resettlement Schemes

Committee hears from witnesses

The Defence Committee is holding oral evidence sessions to investigate a data breach affecting Afghan resettlement schemes and examine the security and administration of programmes that have brought Afghan refugees and former interpreters to the UK. The inquiry will scrutinise how sensitive personal data was handled and assess the effectiveness of resettlement arrangements.

This affects thousands of Afghan nationals who worked with British forces and have been resettled in the UK under government schemes. A data breach poses security risks to vulnerable individuals and their families, and raises serious questions about government data protection standards and duty of care to those who assisted the military.
