TV stars demand government 'let Ukrainian refugees in now - with open arms'
'His courage, integrity and grace under fire in this horrific situation should make our own government feel ashamed.
Unlike the European Union - which is allowing Ukrainians three-year residency without a visa - the UK has retained controls on entry, saying they are essential for security. The scheme will enable Britons to put people fleeing the war up in a spare room, or perhaps give them a job. However, it is expected that anyone offering to house a Ukrainian refugee will have to pass Disclosure and Barring Service checks, which will slow the process further.
It comes after Phones 4u billionaire John Caudwell vowed to offer his two-bedroom coach house to Ukrainian refugees rent and bill-free for six months. They must provide their full name, date of birth, their current passport and details of any criminal convictions.For example, someone who is looking to join their partner in Britain must prove that they are married or have been living together for at least two years.
When they attend their appointment they are asked to give biometric data in the form of fingerprints.
