Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to permit Ukrainian nationals to stay in the UK beyond the three-year limit of existing visas.

We firmly believe that Ukraine will be safe again and we will continue to support the Ukrainian Government for as long as is necessary in their efforts against Putin.

Therefore, our approach has been to provide Ukrainians with access to a three-year visa for temporary sanctuary in the UK. This has given them the certainty and stability they need whilst they are here to settle into jobs, and find schooling and accommodation.

Of course, we keep any future need for an extension of leave in the UK under review, in line with developments of the situation in Ukraine.
