Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

There is dialogue at EU level among home affairs ministers and so on around the operation of the temporary protection directive. There is a Cabinet committee on the humanitarian response to Ukraine, which all of the relevant Ministers are members of. All of these issues are discussed and subject to Cabinet confidentiality. All of the issues around the operation of the temporary protection directive are considered by that Cabinet committee.
