Thursday's report also questioned the government's overarching policy to not comment on special forces matters, describing it as "inappropriate" in the context of the breach. The committee added that special forces involvement "should not prevent Parliament and the public from understanding how administrative failings occurred". The rejections from UKSF left many in fear for their lives and former members of the Afghan special forces told the BBC they were living in hiding. The defence committee report outlined that the "proportion of decisions subsequently overturned demonstrates the seriousness of that failure". The defence secretary currently faces a legal challenge at the Royal Courts of Justice from former Afghan special forces who are unable to escape to the UK.
