Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (Home Office, GOV.UK); licence terms. Organisations only: names that look like individuals (sole traders) are left out, so a town count can be a little lower than the register's own line count. Being on the register means the Home Office has licensed the organisation to sponsor; it does not mean it is hiring, will sponsor you, or is in good standing today.
