British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace denied reports that the UK was planning to establish refugee processing centres in Turkey.

The Times, a British newspaper, published a report which claims that the UK had abandoned plans to establish regional hubs to process Afghans, and that the UK will resettle Afghans directly from refugee camps in neighbouring countries.
