1: The number of applications received includes all applications for a sponsor licence
under the Tiers and sub-categories that permit employment.</p><p>Note 2: Not all applications
refused in a given six month period were received in the same six month period.</p><p>Note
3: An application for multiple Tiers and/or categories may be partially granted; therefore
refusals also includes those application where a licence may have been granted under
one Tier, but refused under a different Tier.</p>
