Sanctions

Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2022. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sanctions.

My constituent’s wife and child are currently fleeing the violence in Ukraine, and they hope to return home. Her sister, who is Ukrainian, and her two children aged 10 and four, are fleeing with them, because the home they had been living in was destroyed by a Russian bomb. Does the Foreign Secretary agree that that is precisely the kind of

case where the United Kingdom, which has a long history of compassion and welcome to refugees, should be enabling that family, together, to return here?
