- UK government to allow members of public to house Ukrainian refugees
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to dominate the domestic political agenda.
Ministers are setting out plans to pass the burden of welcoming Ukrainian refugees on to individuals as they ask Britons to open up their homes as part of a new “sponsored” humanitarian route to belatedly begin admitting Ukrainians without family links to the UK. The prime minister Boris Johnson told Sky News:
On Monday, you’ll get from the Levelling Up Secretary, you’ll get the programme that will allow people to come in, so (if) people want to welcome (refugees) into their own homes, they can do so.
