Refugees: Ukraine

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she is taking steps to help ensure that Ukrainian people fighting in the war in that country are able to access the UK during their 10 days' leave if they have family members in the UK under any refugee scheme; and whether she has had discussions with her counterparts in (a) Poland and (b) other countries on allowing their travel.

Answer

Home Office officials continue to work closely with the Ukrainian Government on our measures to date to ensure our measures respond directly to their needs and asks. We will continue to consider their requests and respond to meet their needs.

It should also be noted Ukrainian Law places significant restrictions on men aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country at this time, which must be borne in mind by anyone planning travel to the UK.
