(Sky News) A person from Afghanistan on the UK’s no-fly list has been flown into Birmingham as part of the British evacuation operation in a potential security breach, MPs have been told.
The individual, who is not being identified by the government, is understood to have reached UK soil on a British military plane, with officials being alerted “overnight.”
The “no-fly list” is designed to block individuals who are considered a security threat from reaching the UK.
The government has looked at the case and decided “they are not a person of interest” and no further action will be taken, so the person is free to go.
