Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many exempt vignettes have been granted in the past five years to family members of consular officers who do not fall within the categories of spouses or civil partners or dependent children under the age of 18, as set out in paragraph 2.14 of the Exemption from Immigration Control (non armed forces) Guidance, but who were nonetheless treated as exempt from immigration control.

The information requested is not centrally held and could only be collected and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
