Nearly 89,000 households have now signed up to provide a home for Ukrainian refugees as a Government minister said he was “actually quite proud” the website allowing Britons to put themselves forward had crashed within the first few minutes of going live.
Some 88,712 households had registered for the Homes for Ukraine scheme by Tuesday morning, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said, as the Prime Minister aimed to match the efforts at home with foreign action.
