A scheme for Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s invasion to shelter in Britain should be widened for victims of other wars, the Refugees Minister said today.
Lord Richard Harrington called for the Homes for Ukraine project to be widened so asylum seekers from other conflicts could find temporary sanctuary with kind-hearted UK families.
“My vision is for the system to be a permanent part of government so that when future refugee crises happen - and unfortunately they do, all the time - we have a machinery,” he told the Onward think tank.
