House of Commons – Nov. 3, 2025

That this House expresses concern about the continuing uncertainty faced by Ukrainians living in the United Kingdom under the Ukraine Schemes; notes that while the introduction of the Ukrainian Permission Extension Scheme in February 2025 provided an additional 18 months’ leave to remain for those already in the UK, it does not offer the long-term stability that families need; recognises the significant contribution Ukrainians have made to communities, schools, and the economy across the UK; further notes that many Ukrainians who sought sanctuary here have built new lives, integrated into local communities, and become active members of British society; welcomes the policy adopted by the Liberal Democrats calling for the Government to automatically extend visas for Ukrainians residing in the UK and to establish a clear pathway to indefinite leave to remain for those who wish to settle long-term; believes that providing certainty of status honours the courage of Ukrainians who fled the war, supports the UK’s national interest, and reflects the country’s humanitarian values; and calls on the Government to take decisive and compassionate action to extend visas automatically and to create a route to settlement for Ukrainians who have made the UK their home.
