Question
Adam Dance
Liberal Democrat — Yeovil
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason she removed the five year settled status pathway for Ukrainians living in the UK.
Answer
Seema MalhotraWe continue to keep the Ukraine Schemes under review to ensure they continue to meet the needs of Ukrainians in the UK.
We recognise the Ukrainian government’s desire for the future return of its citizens to Ukraine. It is important our approach respects these wishes. This is why we have always been clear that the Ukraine schemes provide temporary sanctuary, and not a route to permanent settlement in the UK. There are other routes available for those who wish to settle in the UK permanently, if they meet the requirements.
