Britain’s Homes for Ukraine scheme should be extended to Afghans, ministers have been told, with Conservative MPs describing it as an “enormous opportunity” to shift the country’s approach to refugees.
The government should “build on the extraordinary wave of goodwill” shown by the British public following the launch of the sponsorship programme, which allows Ukrainians to be hosted by UK residents, to speed up the resettlement of thousands of Afghans evacuated from Kabul last summer, Conservative MPs and civic society groups have said.
