Michael Gove has signalled he will work with Nicola Sturgeon to allow thousands of Ukraine refugees into the UK before they are matched with host families.
The UK Cabinet Minister described the joint plan from Wales and Scotland to be “super sponsors” of Ukraine refugees as a “generous offer” and said officials would try to make the scheme work.
Refugee charities and the Scottish First Minister raised fears the UK-wide scheme requiring host families to match themselves to refugees before they enter the UK will prove cumbersome and bureaucratic.
