Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what regulation is in place where hosts under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme are employing their Ukranian guests.

Guests under the Ukraine schemes have the same rights and responsibilities as British employees at work for the duration of their permission to stay. The Department for Work and Pensions has a single point of contact for all businesses expressing an interest in employing people from Ukraine. Information is available here. Legislation is in place which exempts those arriving from Ukraine from the Habitual Residence Test and Past Presence Test, giving them immediate access to benefits and employment opportunities. The Homes for Ukraine guidance for sponsors can be accessed here.
