Full resettlement of eligible individuals accepting offers will take several years.
Conclusion
We asked the Department how confident it was that it would be able to resettle all those individuals, and how long it would take. The Department said that the estimate of 7,355 was a “maximalist projection” because it expected that around 80% of eligible principals would take up the offer of resettlement.17 The Department said that it would be some years before all eligible individuals who accept the offer of resettlement were relocated to the UK.18 According to Home Office immigration statistics published in August 2025, 3,383 people had arrived in the UK under the ARR by June 2025.19 11 C&AG’s Report, para 26 12 C&AG’s Report, Figures 1, 3 13 C&AG’s Report, para 28 14 Q 45 15 Qq 31, 45 16 Qq 46, 60, 63 17 Q 61 18 Q 62 19 C&AG’s Report, para 29 9 Managing sensitive and personal information
