The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many spousal visas were rejected in each of the last five years by nationality.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Home Office publishes information on Family-related visas in the Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk), direct link to the Entry clearance (family-related) visa data tables. The statistics relate to applications and outcomes (grants, refusals, lapsed and withdrawn) of entry clearance visas for family reasons, and can be broken down by nationality.
