7 MPs taking a refugee from Ukraine into their home - and why others won't

MPs are among celebrities and members of the public who have expressed plans to take in a refugee fleeing the Ukraine conflict as part of the Government's new sponsor scheme.

The Homes for Ukraine programme will allow people to sponsor a named Ukrainian individual or family to stay with them in their home, or offer a separate property for them to use rent-free.

While many will welcome the launch of the scheme, albeit on day 19 of the conflict, it has received criticism for not being as welcoming as programmes rolled out by EU countries that have waived visa requirements for Ukrainians in the short term.
