In general, they are trying to find out if, for example, a child is travelling with their parent or if a person is travelling with their spouse. Also they are trying to establish the person’s premise for visiting the UK and sometimes if a person is travelling with a group the info can be useful. Finally, the info is helpful in understanding the applicant’s connection to the UK (if there is one) and if their visit is contingent on another person getting a visa.
Based upon what you wrote, you are travelling with a friend/companion. You would answer the question honestly and check the ‘NO’ box if the person does not have a valid UK visa.
Optionally, you can then go to Part 9 of the form and enter a brief explanation of how and when your friend/companion will apply for their visa. In fact you can simply reword your text above (i.e., your question) and copy it to Part 9. It is OK to be explicit about your relationship with your friend/companion because it helps establish the premise of both your visits.
