Britain: ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme is being considered as one way ‘to save funds’

Over 800,000 new refugees could flee Ukraine this winter experts have warned – just as Rishi Sunak's government are said to be considering axing a UK scheme to home them, - writes “The Daily Mail”.

But the warning comes amid a £50 billion black hole found in Britain's finances that Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt are desperate to fill.

A source told Mail Online: 'Nothing has been decided yet, a lot of different schemes and budgets across the board are being looked at ahead of the Autumn Statement.'
