Former cabinet minister Robert Jenrick has hit out at red tape after becoming the first MP to take in a Ukraine refugee family to his home under a new government scheme.
The former housing minister picked up Maria, 40, and her two children Christina, 11, and Boden, 15, from Stansted airport this week, and they will live with his family at their Nottinghamshire home.
After being the first MP to provide a home for Ukrainians under a new Home Office scheme to help refugees from the country, he criticised the system claiming it “tested the patience” of both sponsors and those fleeing.
