Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of recent passport requirement changes for dual nationals travelling to the UK on the level of (a) passport application (i) volumes and (ii) processing times and (b) the use of certificates of entitlement to the right of abode.

Information about passport application volumes and performance are published quarterly, and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/migration-transparency-data.

There have been no changes to the published customer guidance for the expected timeframe to process passport applications.

Quarterly data for the issuing of Certificates of Entitlement can be found in the detailed entry clearance visa dataset (Vis-D02) at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/immigration-system-statistics-data-tables.
