Sir James Paice
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many certificates of sponsorship for tier 5 visas have been issued by each sponsoring body in each of the last three years.
[Official Report, 25 June 2013, Vol. 565, c. 167-8W.]
Letter of correction from Mark Harper:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the right hon. Member for South East Cambridgeshire (Sir James Paice) on 25 June 2013.
The full answer given was as follows:
Mr Harper
[holding answer 10 June 2013]: We are unable to provide the data regarding all tier 5 sponsors as the low volume of certificates issued by a third of them would make it possible to identify individuals or personal data.
The following table shows how many certificates of sponsorship (CoS) for tier 5 visas have been issued by the top 50 sponsors in each of the last three years. This information has also been placed in the House Library.
