Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Statement on Strengthening border security and reforms to the asylum system of 1 September 2025, whether applicants to the Ukrainian Permission Extension scheme who applied in Spring 2022 will have these finished in Autumn 2028.

On 1 September, the Home Secretary announced in parliament that the Ukraine Permission Extension scheme (UPE) would be extended for an additional 24 months to enable those eligible to obtain a further period of permission following their initial permission under UPE. More detail will follow in due course.

We continue to keep the Ukraine Schemes and the evolving situation in Ukraine under active review.
