Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether he has met representatives of the Welsh Local Government Association to discuss financial support to welcome refugees from Ukraine.

Representatives from across Government meet frequently with colleagues in the Welsh Local Government Association to update them on a number of matters, including the handling of the current Ukrainian crisis.

Given this is a constantly evolving matter, we are keeping under review how best the UK Government can support refugees fleeing Ukraine and how we allocate financial resource to do so.

At the same time, we have been working at pace to launch the Ukraine Family Scheme and it is now open for extended family members to apply.
