Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to offer a discounted rate for dependents who apply for a Certificate of Entitlement for Right of Abode in the UK.

This Government has no plans to offer discounted rates for such dependants.

Income from application fees helps provide the resources necessary to operate the immigration system, with the remainder of funding provided through general taxation. The Government's aim is to reduce the overall contribution of funding that comes from general taxation.
