Home Office written question – answered at on 1 October 2020.
Lord Touhig
Shadow Spokesperson (Defence)
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord True on 9 September (HL Deb, col 758), on what date Ministers will complete their discussions on visa fees for Commonwealth nationals who have served in the Armed Forces and want to remain in the UK.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Minister of State, Home Department
The Government highly values the service of all members of HM Forces, including Commonwealth nationals.
It is for these reasons we explicitly provide for non-UK veterans discharged from HM Forces to obtain settlement in the UK after having served for four years or more or having been discharged for medical reasons due to their service.
The Ministry of Defence make clear to foreign and Commonwealth recruits into the Forces the process by which they and their families can attain settlement in the UK and the costs involved.
