Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of using visa application centres as a place (a) Ukrainian refugees can register an interest to be matched with a UK family in the event that they have no ties to the UK and (b) organisations in the UK can use to match refugees with hosts.

I refer the Hon Member to the answer given to PQ UIN 145857 on 28 March 2022. The Government is working closely with the voluntary sector, local communities and faith groups, as well as local government and the devolved administrations. Resources for learning Ukrainian and Russian are widely available online.
