Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many passports were issued from HM Passport Office in Belfast in the last three years; and how many and what proportion of these passports were issued to people declaring that they held an Irish passport.

Passport applications are distributed across offices throughout the UK. The data for the volume of passports issued following a successful application by office, and the data for the number of applications processed by office, is not held in a reportable format.

The data for applications where the holding of a non-British passport has been declared is not broken down by the issuing country of that passport, and is therefore not held in a reportable format.
