KABUL (Pajhwok): Nearly 9,000 Afghan refugees are expected to be moved into permanent homes in the United Kingdom, a media report said on Wednesday.

“The Government is expected to commit as much as £750million to supporting the Afghans - many of whom risked their lives for Britain in the war-torn country.”

Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer is set to tell the Commons today that around 8,500 Afghan refugees staying in hotels will be offered a permanent home.
