The First Minister has proposed to the UK Government that Scots become 'super-sponsors' in the journey to take in Ukrainian refugees amid the Russian invasion.
In a joint letter to Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove, the First Minister and First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford set out details of their proposition.
This scheme would enable Ukrainians to get clearance to come to Scotland or Wales quickly and be accommodated temporarily, while the Scottish and Welsh governments then work with local partners to provide longer term accommodation (including with private individuals who have volunteered rooms), safeguarding and access to services.
