Written Question
Visas: Ukraine
Monday 13th June 2022

Asked by: Baroness Sheehan (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many cases there are in which Ukrainian family members have not been dealt with by UKVI as one group, resulting in children being granted visas but not their parent, or vice versa; and what assessment they have made of whether children in such circumstances are more vulnerable to traffickers.

Answered by Lord Harrington of Watford

Information on the number of visas granted under the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine Scheme can be found in our published data on the GOV.UK webpage: Ukraine Schemes: application data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Information requested that is not contained within this published data is not routinely captured. To capture numbers would require a manual trawl of data and to do so would incur disproportionate cost
