Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what agreements have been made across the whole of Europe on how all countries can play an equal part in supporting refugees from Ukraine.

The Home Secretary is continuing to speak to her international counterparts to ensure we are taking appropriate action to support the Ukrainian Government and people.

The Government has established a Ukraine Family Scheme which is fee free and allows British nationals and people settled in the UK to bring extended family members to the UK, covering immediate family members plus parents, grandparents, children over 18, siblings, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. Individuals will be granted leave for three years, giving them certainty and securing their future in the country.

The Government has also announced the Homes for Ukraine scheme, which will allow Ukrainians with no family ties to the UK to be sponsored to come to the UK. We will keep our support under constant review.
