The Home Office does not hold published data on indefinite leave to remain applications, grants or refusals under the Appendix Armed Forces route. These are grouped together with other categories and published as ‘other’ in our published statistics:
It is not possible to identify those from Commonwealth countries who have served in the British armed forces in the data for British citizenship applications, grants or refusals. Commonwealth citizens are naturalised in the same way as other applicants and service is not recorded in Home Office records.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Fixed Penalty Notices have been issued to people returning from countries that are not included in the Government's travel corridors.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
Border Force can issue fixed penalty notices (FPN) to passengers who have failed to complete the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) on arrival. The approach has been to use 4Es (engage, explain, encourage and enforce) to deal with arriving passengers who have not completed the PLF.
To date a total number of 11 fixed penalty notices have been issued.
For PLF completion Border Force do not distinguish between passengers arriving from exempt and non-exempt countries, so it is not possible to break down the FPN data further.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Passenger Locator Forms have been checked by UK Border Force Officials from those people returning from countries not included in the Government’s travel corridors, since 3 July 2020.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
Border Force does not collect the data on country of origin, unless there is an issue with non-compliance, therefore, we do not hold that level of data.Border Force continues to operate a spot checking regime to support compliance with the PLF, and will balance the needs of this against a range of other factors, including the public health risk of queuing passengers in a confined space.
