Refugees: Ukraine
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's Statement of changes to the Immigration Rules, HC 733, published on 12 March 2025, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme on the number of Ukrainian children able to come to the UK.
- Answer
-
The minor changes to the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme (UPE) set out in the statement of changes to the Immigration Rules laid on 12 March 2025, will not impact the number of children able to come to the UK.
UPE, which opened to applications on 4 February 2025, enables Ukrainians and their eligible family members who are already in the UK with Ukraine scheme permission, or Leave outside the Rules in certain circumstances, to apply for a further 18 months' temporary permission in the UK.
The Homes for Ukraine scheme remains open, uncapped and free of charge for Ukrainians in need of sanctuary to apply to come to the UK.
