This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. My request relates to the Homes for Ukraine scheme and the number of breakdowns in host/guest pairings since the scheme began.
To simplify this request, I am attaching a spreadsheet containing the questions and the format I would like you to answer them in, and I would be grateful if you could fill in the answers as per the example answers I have filled in in red. I have added a notes tab should there be any issues with any of the questions, so if you are unable to fill in a certain part please detail why not there.
