Lord Roberts of Llandudno – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Roberts of Llandudno on 2015-12-01.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many adults applying for a passport for the first time have failed to attend their scheduled personal interview in each year since such interviews were required.
Lord Bates
The numbers given reflect the number of interviews where the applicant failed to attend.
An applicant is given three attempts to book and attend an interview. If they fail to attend 3 times then we can withdraw their application.
From 2008 to 2009 information on failed interviews was held in each Interview Office and not collated or transformed into centrally held data.
