Boris Johnson has apparently rejected Nicola Sturgeon’s proposals for Scotland to be a “super sponsor” of Ukrainian refugees arriving in the UK.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman appeared to rule out the joint proposal from the Scottish and Welsh First Ministers to house 3,000 refugees in temporary accommodation before matching them to individual households.
Refugee charities and the First Minister fear the scheme requiring families to match themselves to refugees before they enter the UK will prove cumbersome and bureaucratic.
