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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the correspondence by his Department entitled Email to hosts: information on the Homes for Ukraine programme, published on 1 March 2023, what a reasonable contribution would be towards household bills.

As set out in published guidance, Ukrainian guests have full access to benefits and the right to work from their first day in the UK. Sponsors can ask guests to make a reasonable contribution towards food and other household expenses during their stay but this will depend on individual circumstances. The Government does not offer advice on the individual circumstances of sponsors and their guests.
