Former orthodox ministers have “serious questions to respond to a data violation”, which revealed the details of thousands of Afghans, who supported the British forces, Sir Kirds said.
The Prime Minister said the failures inherited by his government include a super-molecule, which was blocked the violation reporting, and a “secret route” for people affected to come to the UK, which has already spent hundreds of crores of pounds “.
The details of around 19,000 Afghans who applied to move to Britain after confiscating the Taliban’s power were accidentally leaked by a British officer in February 2022.
The previous government came to know in August 2023 when the details were posted on Facebook.
Sir Ben Walse, who was the then Defense Secretary, said that the Orthodox government had applied for a four-month prohibition when it was discovered about Breach, which a judge converted to a super-engineer, which means that the existence of the court order could not be reported.
After an independent review, super-injections were removed on Tuesday.
Sir Ben has said that he creates “no forgiveness” to apply for early prohibitory orders, insisting that it was “cover-up”, but was designed to protect the Afghans that could be at risk.
Speaking at the beginning of the Prime Minister’s questions in the Commons, Sir Kir said: “It has always been supported in this House for the United Kingdom that fulfills our obligations for Afghans serving with British forces.
“We warned against the conservative management of this policy and yesterday, the Defense Secretary set a full limit of failures that we have inherited: a major data violation, a superinjunction, a secret route that has already cost hundreds of million pounds.
“The ministers serving under the party have serious questions to answer about how it was allowed to happen.”
A rehabilitation plan for those affected by the Breach, Afghanistan response route, was set up in April 2024 and has so far come to the UK to 4,500 Afghans.
It costs £ 400m, with an estimated final cost of about £ 850m. A total of 6,900 people are expected to come to the UK under this scheme, which is now closed.
The Ministry of Defense (MOD) believes that 600 Afghan soldiers, and 1,800 members of their family, are still in Afghanistan.
The existence of the scheme was made public only after the High Court removed super-injections.
Regarding the decision, Mr. Justice Chamberlane said that the internal review of the mod found that the Taliban “already possibly keeping significant information in the dataset” and its existence confirmation was unlikely to increase the risk arising out of those effects.
Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle told the House of Commons that the super-director raised “important constitutional issues”.
Since the MPs were unaware of the breech, it could not be raised in the Commons or was investigated by the Parliamentary Committee.

Both Defense Secretary John Helle and Orthodox leader Kemi Badenoch have apologized for their parties for Breech.
In 2021, after the return of the US and Britain soldiers from Afghanistan, it was involved, who applied to visit the UK under the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme.
The plan was open to the Afghans who worked with the UK government, as well as their family members who feared vengeance from the Taliban.
