Lord Avebury asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many persons already in the United Kingdom applied for leave to remain:

  1. when they were within an existing leave to remain; and
  2. when they were overstayers,
on the basis of their marriage or intended marriage to a British citizen, a European Economic Area national or a person with indefinite leave to remain, in each of the five years 1999–2003; and in each case, how many were refused leave to remain. [HL3341]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal: The latest available data on the number of people that have received extensions of their existing leave to remain in the United Kingdom can be found in the table.
