Answered by
Felicity Buchan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
The department is proud of the Homes for Ukraine scheme which has seen 116,400 Ukrainians welcomed to safety in the UK since it was launched, and a total of 153,900 visas issued. We have delivered this working in partnership with councils, the devolved administrations and other government departments including the Home Office who are responsible for issuing the visas. Figures given are correct as of 28th February 2023.
We continue to keep the scheme under constant review, and will set out any updates in the usual way.
