Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many non-UK Commonwealth nationals serving in the UK armed forces have (1) applied for their families to settle with them in the UK in each of the last ten years, and (2) been refused such permission.
The Home Office does not hold the information requested from centrally collated statistical databases as we do not hold data on sponsors. This information could only be obtained by a manual case by case review to collate the data which would be disproportionately expensive.
