The attached spreadsheet contains a series of tables that provide the details requested by the Deputy, in so far as is possible. In some instances it was not possible to provide data as to do so may allow individual applicants to be identified. Therefore, I have provided collated data on each of the headings where available.

Due to the backlog of applications on hand it is not possible to provide details regarding nationality and application type for the number of applications received in Q4 of 2020. Therefore, details have been provided to end Q3 2020 only.
