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 estimate she has made of the average time period between application and issuing of passports for residents of (a) Airdrie and Shotts constituency, (b) Lanarkshire, (c) Scotland and (d) the UK in each year since 2009.

James Brokenshire

Her Majesty’s Passport Office does not store information at constituency level
and the cost of extracting the information requested would be disproportionate.
Information on passport processing performance can be found in HMPO’s annual
report and accounts, which can be accessed via the links below.
