Ukraine: Visa Restrictions for Refugees

Lord Alton of Liverpool Excerpts

Monday 28th February 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)]

I am afraid I do not know what conversations are being had with the devolved Administrations, but I would imagine they are ongoing in the normal way.

[Lord Alton of Liverpool (CB)]

My Lords, will the Minister remind the House of the figures that were given to your Lordships during consideration of the Nationality and Borders Bill about the number of people who are currently in our system and whose asylum claims have not yet been settled, and how long it normally takes for a visa to be processed and expedited through our system?

[Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)]

I am afraid I do not have those statistics to hand. I will have to write to the noble Lord.
