Denmark, last Thursday, was the first nation to help its Afghan workers escape Taliban violence. Since then, there have been media releases promising that UK locally-employed staff would be included in the airlift from Kabul announced on Friday. Given our government's failure to give refuge to translators subject to revenge attacks even before the Taliban launched its current offensive, one has reservations about this commitment. MPs and defence officials must ensure that government is held to its word.
