Sunderland questions Government on visa fees for foreign and Commonwealth soldiers
James Sunderland questions the Government on the consultation on visa fees for foreign and Commonwealth soldiers.
James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)
On inclusion, the Defence Secretary will be aware that several parliamentarians have been lobbying hard, but privately, to get visa fees abated or preferably culled completely as a function of service. Please may I ask where we are with the consultation and with any announcements that may be forthcoming?
Leo Docherty (The Minister for Defence People and Veterans)
We acknowledge with gratitude my hon. Friend’s active role in the debate. He should wait for news this week on that issue.
