To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timetable is for delivering the pledge to waive Indefinite Leave to Remain fees for the spouses and children of current and former service personnel.

The information requested is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
The Government has committed to scrap visa fees for non‑UK veterans who have served for four years or more and their dependants. The Home Office has led work with the Ministry of Defence to deliver this joint commitment. This work is ongoing, and the Department will update Parliament in the usual way once cross‑Government decisions have been finalised.
