Richard Madeley addressed the "elephant in the room" as he quizzed former health secretary Matt Hancock over his intentions to house Ukranian refugees. The MP appeared on Tuesday's Good Morning Britain where hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley spoke to the MP about his plans to sign up his home to house Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.
Matt Hancock explained: “I’ve been working with a British Ukranian whose family is trying to get out of Ukraine. I’ve been working with them for a couple of weeks now and we were talking about what happens when they get here. And I just felt so strongly about it, I said we will make sure there’s accommodation, including if that means coming to stay with me. That was a week or so ago and then the government has come forward with this scheme.
"So whether it’s that family or it’s another family that comes through a different route, if they manage to get accommodation because they have got family here, I’m opening my home. I just feel so strongly about it because we’ve seen these enormous acts of bravery."
