1. Request
I am looking for year by year statistical data, for the last 5 years, on applications submitted and applications that were successful for:
- Front line SIA licences nationally
- Front line SIA licences in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, London, Greenwich (London).
1.1 Clarification
Definition of “successful”: this means what percentage of the applications that were granted (so, a decision). Presumably SIA does not grant 100% of licence applications - there must be some that are rejected. Therefore I am seeking the number of applications made, and the number of those applications that are granted their licences (and, by association, the number that are rejected).
“Front line SIA licences nationally”: yes, just the numbers (applications made, and applications granted their licences) for the entire country
“Front line SIA licences in [city]”: yes, the number of applications made, and the applications granted their licences, for the listed cities.
Therefore, the final information would cover statistical data such as this (although obviously exact presentation is however it best suits SIA):
2019
UK:
- licence applications: 1057
- licences granted: 1043
Glasgow:
- licence applications: 102
- licences granted: 101
Newcastle:
- licence applications: 73
- licences granted: 73
