Let more Afghan interpreters resettle in UK, say ex-military chiefs By Jonathan Beale image copyrightGetty Images Dozens of former military commanders have called on the government to allow more Afghans who worked for British forces to resettle in the UK. Ministers have recently expanded the UK s relocation scheme for Afghans. But in a letter to the PM, the group said they were gravely concerned about hundreds of interpreters who have had their applications rejected. The MoD said it had already supported more than 2,200 former Afghan staff and their families to resettle in the UK. Those who have signed the letter include four former chiefs of the defence staff, Lord Boyce, Lord Stirrup, Lord Richards and Lord Houghton; two former heads of the British Army, Sir Peter Wall and Lord Dannatt; Lord Ricketts, the former national security advisor, and former Defence Minister Johnny Mercer, who served as a soldier in Helmand.
