Scottish Government to end contract for Glasgow Ukrainian refugee ship

Ukranian refugees living on boat MS Ambition are set to be moved as the Scottish Government has cancelled the contract.

The boat, which is docked at the Clyde in Govan, is currently home to about 1,170 Ukrainians, including 420 children. All those living on the cruise ship are to be moved off the boat and into "longer term accommodation", the Scottish Government has said.

Neil Gray, the minister with special responsibility for refugees from Ukraine, said use of the vessel was always intended to be a temporary measure, with the contract due to end on March 31.
