Refugees: Ukraine

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of support given to local authorities to support Ukrainian refugees.

Answer

The Homes for Ukraine scheme relies on cooperation between Government, local government, the voluntary sector, and faith / Ukrainian representative organisations. We engage with local government and other partners through several different conversations and working groups to date. This has included Ministerial roundtables attended by local government representatives, official led working group meetings, and ongoing bilateral engagement with local authority Chief Executives and senior representatives.

Further, I refer the Hon. Member to the written statement (HCWS447) made by my Rt. Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, on 14 December 2022.
