Chris Law – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chris Law on 2016-02-09.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether a security assessment has been made of the potential use of non-HM Passport Office (HMPO) sites for interviews when HMPO plans to replace face-to-face interviews with video-link interviews.
James Brokenshire
When commissioning new video interview sites, a security risk assessment is undertaken and the service has to be suitably accredited. Video interviewing, using this approach, has been used successfully for customers in other locations since 2007.
