Government calls on two-thirds of local authorities yet to come forward to make firm offers of help
Britain’s councils have been urged to come forward and provide accommodation and other help for Afghans fleeing the Taliban after the government said about two-thirds of local authorities had yet to confirm their support.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) welcomed the offers received so far to help Afghans who risked their lives working alongside British armed forces and diplomats in Afghanistan and asked others to follow suit.
