Previous Government set up a secret Afghan relocation scheme was breached
 

[The previous government set up a
secret Afghan relocation scheme after the
personal data of thousands of people was
inadvertently leaked, it can be revealed.

The details of nearly 19,000 people who
had applied to move to the UK after
the Taliban takeover of the country was
released by mistake by a
British defence official in February 2022.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) learned of the breach
in August 2023 and created a new resettlement
scheme nine months later.
It has seen 4,500 Afghans arrive in the UK,
with a further 600 people and their
immediate families still to arrive.

However the existence of the leak and
scheme was kept secret after the government
obtained a superinjunction.

Details of the major data breach,
the response and the number of Afghans
granted the right to live in
the UK as a result were only made public
on Tuesday after a High Court judge ruled
the gagging order should be lifted.

The leak contained the names,
contact details and some family information
of people potentially at risk of harm from
the Taliban.

The government also revealed on Tuesday:

The secret scheme - officially called the
Afghan Relocation Route - has cost £400m so far,
and is expected to cost a further £400m to £450m

The scheme is being closed down, but relocation
offers already made will be offered

The breach was committed by an
unnamed official at the MoD

People whose details were leaked were
only informed on Tuesday

Speaking in the House of Commons,
Defence Secretary John Healey offered
a "sincere apology" to those whose details
had been included in the leak]

A LBC reporter had the information,
But could not go public until today

Pretty insane stuff, all over a typo, email should have been sent to 150 applicants instead it was sent to all applicants and the person put the names in the To...instead of the Bcc, so the government had to bring everyone one in :laugh: at least they were vetted and were people who helped the British Military so no issues at all here ....hasn't everyone who has worked in an office had an anxiety about sending to all instead of sending to some

I can imagine alot of MPs will be very cross about the covering of arses though

[A secret operation smuggling migrants
to Britain is being run by ministers who signed off
the projected £7billion cost while a 'superinjunction'
kept taxpayers and MPs in the dark.

Today after 23 months of being gagged,
the Daily Mail can reveal the eye-watering scheme
to bring in thousands of Afghans – which came after
a military blunder put 100,000 'at risk
of death' from the Taliban.

Secret hearings in the High Court
have heard how Parliament has been deliberately
kept oblivious – or even 'misled',
as a judge was told]

I guess this was part of the 22 billion black hole :laugh:

Reports
Some of the names/locations are on Facebook.

The breach was committed by an
unnamed official at the MoD



Give us our bat soup.:fist:

Ch4HDnews, last night

In Afghanistan, right now
Many Afghans are changing their phone numbers
and locations.

As they now fear,
the Legit Government in Afghanistan
The Taliban will hunt them down.

This Data breach today
has sadly put many of the locals
that helped the UK Army back in the wars,
are now at High Risk.

Many go to Pakistan
before trying to get to the safety
of the UK.

Hopefully these people will have the MI5 help the ones living over here.

the people that supported the brits will already be dead, they have informers that will already have identified them

They should name and shame the idiot responsible for that huge error !!

£2 Billion pounds cost to the taxpayer.. on order to take in 15,000 extra people when we are taking in thousands each week despite being full to bust .

anyone can make an administration error, we are all human

Indeed, it was probably a temp

and what would naming and shaming achieve, apart from huge embarrassment and possibly them being harrasssed

I don't really have a problem with this, as long as the people that were brought in were properly vetted, they were actually in fear of their lives, unlike the lot at Calais

They say all 15,000 were vetted


Yeah right …

What worries me is that the person responsible for the data breach still works at the MOD.

they were, when they worked for the forces in Afgan they were vetted

So the financial black hole Labour were left with, that the tories relentlessly mocked and called a lie, was more than real and they used the injunction to their benefit to continue lying about just how badly they ****ed up the countries finances year after year

Yeah, blame the government, they were directly responsible for including the wrong people on the email :laugh:

Yes let’s not blame the people that covered it up and kept quiet about the entire debacle costing us £7billion, they’re totally blameless

It should never happen at the MOD.

The Conservative who started all this
is no longer an MP


Ben Wallace

They said it was 22 billion, this cost 7, where did the rest come from then?

Quite a bit of money could be saved by not putting illegals up in hotels but you are all for that apparently

We could also save money by not giving Landlords extra cash to house migrants over the ordinary working people who Labour are always banging on about helping

I recall a "vetted" Afghan policeman working with our troops who, when our troops returned to base, were unarmed and had removed their body armour, shot them in the back with an automatic weapon. Five soldiers and two Afghan nationals dead, seven soldiers wounded. The shooter escaped back to the Taliban. He had been vetted. It makes me angry to think the person who laid the explosives that injured my first husband so badly he later died could well be living here now, on my taxes, with lefties waving at him and calling out "welcome!" .

If someone from my office made such a mistake in these days where we all know about Data Protection, they would be sacked at the very least.

Ch4HDnews
Spoke on the Phone to a local out there
Who is on the new leak list?


He says the UK needs to evacuate him?

Also, a couple have been told
they will be evicted from MOD Housing
in two months.

So an Afghan Family can move in.



[A couple has been notified that they will be evicted
from their MOD housing in two months
to make way for an Afghan family being
resettled in the UK.
This is part of the Afghan Relocations and
Assistance Policy (ARAP) according
to Bracknell Forest Council.
The ARAP scheme aims to relocate Afghan citizens,
and their families, who supported
the UK's mission in Afghanistan.
The couple is being asked to vacate their home
within two months to facilitate the relocation
of an Afghan family to the same property.]

Very true. But you must add that Labour were willing to do the same until the injunction was lifted.

It gets worse


Those 15,000 have now started to sue the government for leaking their details


Mindboggling.

Who will Labour target now in order to raise the money to give to the Afghans we brought here. Winter fuel allowance again? We're already housing these people ahead of British families... Maybe we can put everyone's tax up?

Claims are supposedly for £1 million each !!!!
