Refugees: Ukraine
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to enable Ukrainians living and working in (a) Yeovil Constituency, (b) Somerset, and (c) the South West of England to stay in the UK if there is peace in Ukraine.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
We continue to keep the Ukraine Schemes under review to ensure they continue to meet the needs of Ukrainians in the UK.
We recognise the Ukrainian government’s desire for the future return of its citizens to Ukraine. It is important our approach respects these wishes. This is why we have always been clear that the Ukraine schemes provide temporary sanctuary, and not a route to permanent settlement in the UK. There are other routes available for those who wish to settle in the UK permanently, if they meet the requirements.
