1 Figures given for March and April in Nicosia have been double—checked. The identical figure is coincidental.

The discrepancies in these figures are due to the fact that applications can be carried forward from one month to the next before being resolved, and applications can be withdrawn during processing and still count as an application received. Post are also required to count all applications received (a mother and three children on one passport may count as four applications, but one entry clearance may be issued).

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many family visitor visa applications were (a) received, (b) determined and applications were (a) received, (b) determined and (c) refused at entry clearance posts worldwide in each month since 1 January. [131097]

Worldwide statistics for all visitor visas are collated by financial year (1 April to 31 March) only, and are not available on a monthly basis. During the financial year 2002–03 the worldwide figures for the number of visitor visa applications that were received, determined and refused were as follows:

Applications	Number
(a) Received	1,421,597
(b) Determined	1,219,169
(c) Refused	175,434

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many family visitor visa applications were (a) received, (b) determined and (c) refused at (i) Mumbai, (ii) New Delhi, (iii) Dhaka, (iv) Islamabad, (v) Tehran, (vi) Nicosia, (vii) Accra, (viii) Lagos and (ix) Nairobi in each month since 1 January. [131098]
