answer text <p> </p><p /> <p><strong>Changes to beer, cider and wine duty at Budget 2014 help support British pubs. The Government also supports the Scotch whisky industry for the unique role it plays in the UK economy.

answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The information requested on entry clearance applications for adult dependent <br />relative settlement visas is not available and could only be obtained at <br />disproportionate cost by the examination of a significant number of individual <br />case records. <br /><br />The Home Office publishes quarterly statistics on entry clearance visa <br />applications and resolutions (issued, refused, withdrawn and lapsed) by <br />category in table be_01_q (Before Entry tables volume 2) within the <br />‘Immigration Statistics' release. A copy of the latest release, ‘Immigration <br />Statistics September – December 2013' is available from the Library of the <br />House and from: <br />https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-stati<br />stics-quarterly-release.<br /><br />Within the table be_01_q , data relating to adult dependent relatives of a <br />British Citizen in the UK or a settled person in the UK are included in the <br />category ‘Family: Other (for immediate settlement)' but cannot be identified <br />separately.<br /><br />The Home Office is reviewing the collection of data relating to adult dependent <br />relative settlement visas. Data are being developed and, subject to resolving <br />any data quality/recording issues, it is planned to begin publishing data <br />specifically relating to adult dependent relative settlement visas later this <br />year.<br /><br />A manual review of the available management information to identify adult <br />dependent relative applications granted in the period from 1 November 2012 to <br />30 September 2013 indicates that 34 settlement visas were issued in that period <br />to an adult dependent relative under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules. This <br />information is provisional and subject to change. Corresponding information on <br />applications is not available.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
