§ Mr. McKelveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many visa applications were received from Philippine nationals in the last year for which records were kept; and how many were(a) accepted and (b) refused.
§ Mr. GoodladOur entry clearance posts overseas do not record a separate breakdown of visa applications by nationalities. In 1993 the British embassy in Manila received 13,339 applications for United Kingdom visas, of which 11,895 were issued and 1,232 refused. The remainder were still being processed as at 31 December 1993.
