Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 27 October 2026 to question 36309 on Veterans: Visas, what the outcome was of those discussions.

Ministers discussed the implementation of the Government’s manifesto commitment to scrap visa fees for non-UK veterans who have served for four or more years and their dependants. The discussions reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to delivering the pledge, and Home Office and Ministry of Defence officials have continued to work together on its implementation.

It would not be appropriate to provide a detailed account of ministerial discussions relating to ongoing policy development and implementation. The Government will provide further updates in the usual way.
