Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
The number of Ukrainian people seeking temporary protection is down. The average over the past few weeks is 100 per week or less than that. It had been a lot higher. The total number for January 2024 was 1,452. In December, it was 3,700. There is a reduction but I cannot say what it is attributable to.
