(BBC) Dozens more Afghan interpreters who worked with British forces in Afghanistan will be eligible to settle in the UK following a government decision to expand a relocation scheme.
About 450 interpreters moved to the UK with their families under the original scheme, announced up in 2013.
But some of those who were ineligible said they were targeted by the Taliban.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said expanding the scheme was “the honourable thing to do.”
Under the original scheme only those who had worked with the British on the frontline for a year or more, and were then made redundant, were eligible to apply.
