The new safe and legal routes, announced in the Restoring Order and Control statement, will enable community groups, universities and employers to identify refugees they wish to sponsor, including individuals known to them. Any individual proposed for sponsorship would need to meet the eligibility requirements of the route and be subject to the relevant security and assurance checks before a decision is made.
The Home Secretary has stated that the routes will be capped. We anticipate that arrivals under the new safe and legal routes will start small and build over time. The number of arrivals will be carefully managed to align with the UK’s capacity to support refugees and the Home Office will retain overall control on numbers.
We are continuing to work with stakeholders to develop and design the new routes.
Further details, including eligibility requirements for refugees, the role of local authorities, and the funding, fundraising and status requirements for sponsors, will be set out in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Graduate labour market outcomes (LEO) statistics published on 25 June 2026, if she will publish data on graduate and non-graduate earnings broken down by prior attainment at A-Level and BTEC.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Graduate labour market outcomes (LEO) statistics published on 25 June 2026, if she will publish data on graduate and non-graduate earnings broken down by prior attainment at A-Level and BTEC.
Data on graduate earnings broken down by prior attainment at A-level and BTEC have been published in previous releases of the graduate labour market outcomes (LEO) statistical release series.
These breakdowns have not been included in the latest release of the series (published 25 June 2026), as the latest release shifted to using key stage 4 (GCSE) results as the primary measure of prior attainment by which to group outcomes and earnings. Providing multiple different prior attainment measures risked confusing users. This shift was implemented after discussion with various sector experts and stakeholders, who generally advised that key stage 4 attainment was the more robust measure of prior attainment for comparing graduate and non-graduate outcomes, since it is the final attainment measure in compulsory education and the qualification landscape is less fragmented than at key stage 5.
