DIFFERENTIAL VISA COSTS

Early day motion 1209, tabled 20 March 2014 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 2 members.

That this House is concerned by the huge differential in the costs of dependents visas; points out that a British citizen is charged £1,906 for a visa for a relative from a country outside the European Union whereas an EU citizen living in Britain is charged just £55 for the same visa; believes that this discriminates against British citizens; and calls on the Government to equalise the cost for all dependents visas at £55.
