Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to enable Ukrainians in the UK whose visas expired prior to January 2022 to apply for the Ukraine Extension Scheme.

Ukrainian nationals will only be able to qualify under the Ukraine Extension Scheme if they were in the UK with immigration permission on 18 March 2022, or if their last permission ended after 1 January 2022. The Government has no plans to change these criteria, although those who's visas expired before this date may be eligible for other routes to regularise their status, providing they meet the eligibility criteria.
