Can staff travel be issued to parent if they live at same address

WarJan said:

Hi

I understand staff travel are very strict with staff travel and is only permitted for spouse or children or housekeepers however do you think ( to save me from wasting their time) that they would consider allowing my parents or just one parent to have their own staff passes as spouses do. Only reason is, I live with parents so am wondering if atoc would consider giving parents staff passes as I live at their address.

The housekeeper privileges is indeed an old fashioned hang over from a past age. But that's one of the things when old rules are preserved. If it was modernised then the rule would probably be abolished rather than evolved into "any adult you wish to nominate"

I think there is absolutely no chance. And I don't think they would accept a housekeeper as being related either.
