§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will provide a breakdown of the number of family visit visa applications(a) received, (b) determined, (c) allowed and (d) refused by each entry clearance post since 2 October. [142088]
§ Mr. VazThe breakdown that follows covers information received from the largest 100 entry clearance Posts which submit monthly statistical returns. I regret that the information for the remaining 64 small Posts is not available centrally. Some of the figures need to be checked with the Posts concerned. When this has been done, I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of my letter in the Libraries of the House.
