Ukrainian refugees will no longer be able to turn down multiple offers of accommodation, under plans to be approved by the Cabinet today.

The Government is seeking to ramp up the movement of people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine out of hotels and into more community-based accommodation. However, there has been difficulty in moving some people as they have refused to be moved out of towns and cities.
