GOVERNMENT officials admitted today  that they do not know the exact number of Ukrainian refugees left homeless after seeking safety here. 

According to the latest official figures, 660 Ukrainian households have applied to local councils in England for help with homelessness, of which 480 are families with dependent children. 

But MPs were told today that the government does not have figures on the total number of individuals these households represent.
