In addition, given the risks that Afghan interpreters faced, includ-ing threats to safety, as a direct result of their work alongside UK forces on the front line, we believe it was appropriate to provide a fee exemption.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 04/04/2019 16:30:05 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
