To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department is providing support to Sudanese citizens who are (a) visitors, (b) students and (c) other people with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK.
Answer
Robert JenrickSince 2015, we have offered a safe and legal route to the UK to almost half a million people seeking safety, as well as family members of refugees. The safe and legal entry routes are country-specific and global:
- Resettlement, including UNHCR schemes (UK Resettlement scheme, mandate scheme, and community sponsorship), as well as the Afghan Resettlement Programme
- Family reunion visas
- BN(O) Hong Kong visas
- Ukraine Family, Sponsorship and Extension Scheme visas
However, preventing a humanitarian emergency must remain as our focus right now. We continue to work alongside our international partners to maintain the ceasefire and bring an end to fighting.
