Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 January 2023 to Question 111601 on Visas: Ukraine, whether her Department (a) has undertaken and (b) plans to undertake research on the reasons for which 55,500 Ukrainian visa holders have not arrived in the UK since their visas were issued.

Between 14^th July and 5^th August 2022, the Home Office undertook an online survey aimed at understanding the situations and intentions of those people who held Ukraine Family Scheme or Homes for Ukraine visas, but who had not yet arrived in the UK.

This survey was sent to all email addresses linked to adult visa holders under Ukraine Family Scheme or Homes for Ukraine, where Home Office data indicated that the holder had not yet arrived in the UK. The survey asked why respondents had not yet arrived in the UK – reasons included factors preventing them from going to the UK, facing difficulties getting to the UK, and preferring to stay in their current location.

The full outputs of this survey have not been published because of concerns about data quality.
