Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many online passport applications HM Passport Office has received in the last 12 months; and how many applications HM Passport Office has received (a) online and (b) via post (i) throughout the UK, (ii) in Scotland and (iii) in Glasgow North East Constituency in the last 12 months.

I refer to the table below which provides the volume of applications Her Majesty’s Passport Office has received in the last 12 months. Please note these figures are for all UK applications.

We are unable to provide data on the number of applications received from the Glasgow North East Constituency, Scotland or any geographical region within the UK, as the data could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
