     Following internal quality assurance checks, we have corrected some of the figures relating to applications and grants of visas to British Nationals (Overseas) (BN(O). We identified an issue where data was not used correctly in the topic text. This change affects the topic “How many people come to the UK each year (including visitors)?” for the year ending March 2023. The underlying data tables are unaffected.
