Home Office Visas for Ukrainians

Lord Adonis Excerpts

Thursday 10th March 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

I am assuming that the right reverend Prelate is not referring to people coming in under the family scheme, because clearly they would have recourse to public funds. I am assuming that he is talking about Ukrainians seeking asylum here. Ukrainians coming here under the family scheme, by its very nature, will have family members here. I will take this offline and discuss it with the right reverend Prelate, because certain things in what he is saying do not seem to fit the scheme that we are talking about.

[Lord Adonis (Lab)]

My Lords, do we have any evidence as to how many Ukrainians actually have a passport?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

I do not know; I can find out for the noble Lord.
