Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many transit visas the Government has issued during the last three years in the UK fishing sector.

The Home Office does not routinely collate the specific information requested. To obtain this information would require the examination of individual records, and incur disproportionate cost.

The Home Office publishes data on visa application volumes, including total numbers of transit visas issued, online at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2017
