Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make an estimate of the number of visas which have expired without (a) renewal, (b) transfer to another visa type and (c) acquiring indefinite leave to remain in each of the past five years.

The Home Office publishes immigration statistics on a quarterly basis in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. The relevant data for this request could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
