The information requested is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
The Hon Member may be interested to know that grants of leave under family and private life rules are an unpublished subset of ‘Other Grants’ which can be found on tab Asy_D02 of the quarterly Immigration System Statistics: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/immigration-system-statistics-data-tables.
