Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has plans to take steps to implement a Family Scheme Visa for people in (a) Türkiye and (b) Syria who have family in the UK and have been left homeless following earthquakes in February 2023.

The Government has no plans to implement specific schemes for those impacted by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, existing visa routes for those wishing to come to the UK are available.

The UK continues to provide lifesaving and emergency support, coordinating closely with the Turkish government and United Nations in Syria to ensure our support meets the needs on the ground and that we can stay responsive to emerging needs.
