Answer:
Kevin Foster:

842 – The MP enquiry line is an 0345 number which is a local rate number, so calls to this line cost the same as calls to a geographic number and will be dependent on your telephone service provider. UKVI does not charge for calls to this number.

843 – The Ukraine option on the MP enquiry line has received 3223 calls between 1 March and 11 May 2022

844 – UKVI has not received any money as a result of calls to the MP Enquiry line, including the Ukraine specific option.
