Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many passports were delivered to the wrong person or address by HM Passport Office in each year since 2011.

Since Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) started collecting this data in February 2014, 62
cases of passports wrongly delivered or packages damaged on delivery have been
reported and investigated by HMPO and resulted in passports being cancelled.
Subject to the outcome of the investigation, a new passport is issued to the
passport holder. This is 0.0017% of the total passports issued for this
period.

There is no reason to believe this number is higher or lower than at any other point previously.
