Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Homes for Ukraine scheme, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of enabling local authorities to start DBS checks on potential providers of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees before their arrival in the UK.
That is the position. Guidance is set out at: www.gov.uk/guidance/homes-for-ukraine-guidance-for-councils.
