Pamela Nash – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pamela Nash on 2014-06-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what performance indicators for the renewal of existing passports have been met by each passport office administrative centre in (a) Scotland, (b) Wales, (c) Northern Ireland and (d) England in each year since 2009.

James Brokenshire

Her Majesty’s Passport Office does not log performance data at office, regional
or home country level. Performance is monitored at a national level as Her
Majesty’s Passport Office distributes work across the UK estate to manage
variation in local levels of passport demand. The cost of identifying the information
in the format requested would be disproportionate.

Information on the number of passports issued each year in the UK is set out in
Her Majesty’s Passport Office’s Annual Report and Accounts. I refer to the
Answer given to the hon. Member on 30 June 2014, Official Report, column 381W.

Her Majesty’sPassport Office have issued over 4 million passports in the year
2014 to date.
