“GLARING gaps” in the government’s scheme to rapidly relocate Afghan interpreters to Britain could result in over 1,000 vulnerable people being left stranded, a campaigner has warned. 

Ministers have pledged to resettle over 3,000 Afghans who worked for the British military and government due to fears for their safety when occupying troops leave the country. 

But former soldier Ed Aitken, founder of the Sulha Alliance campaign group, warned that around a third could have difficulty accessing the scheme.
