Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 30 October 2024 to Question 10416 on Refugees, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of allowing Ukrainian nationals who are temporarily living in the UK to bring over a spouse or minor children.

Since the launch of our Ukraine schemes, the UK has offered or extended sanctuary to nearly 300,000 Ukrainians.

The UK’s support for Ukraine remains steadfast and, together with our partners and allies, the UK stands in solidarity with Ukraine and condemns the Russian Government’s unprovoked and premeditated war against Ukraine.

The Homes for Ukraine Scheme remains open and available to new applications. These applications must be sponsored by someone who is British, Irish or settled.

Our Ukraine schemes are kept under continual review as we look to provide stability for those we have welcomed to the UK and those who still need our sanctuary.
