Very much so. In my meetings, people have been asking about these different visas and routes, not many of which work.
Manuela Perteghella (Stratford-on-Avon) (LD)
First, I am proud to say that the residents of my constituency have opened their homes and their hearts to many Ukrainian families fleeing this horrific conflict. They are now our neighbours and friends, they work or study, and they are part of our community. Does my hon. Friend agree that we a need bespoke route to permanent residency for Ukrainians who want to stay in the UK?
Martin Wrigley
I absolutely agree, and this is now urgent as guests start to have less than 12 months on their visas.
