Ref: 2324-0488

 

Dear M Stephens,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 2 September 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘Can I please get aggregated* data for the decade 2012/13 through 2022/23
for Afghanistans, Syrians and Ukrainians:

 

Refugee and Protection Claims

Refugee and Protection Approvals

Refugee Quota Arrivals

Refugee Family Support Category Arrivals

 

Resident Visas decided (applications) approved Resident Visas decided
(applications) declined

 

Note: I'm looking for aggregated data so that any numbers that are <5 for
any particular years are included in a total without identifying data
being added, as is the practice for the Refugee and Protection Statistics
Packs. For example. from 2013-14 to 2017-18 no Afghans are listed under
the Refugee and Protection Claims approvals. My reasoning is that by
aggregating these with the entire decade we can avoid any privacy concerns
while giving an accurate view of intakes).’

 

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 29 September 2023, being 20 working days after the day your
request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  

If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us
via email to [1][MBIE request email].

 

Nâku noa, nâ
