Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she plans to take to ensure the (a) availability and (b) adequacy of the 1 week Fast Track passport service.

Appointments for urgent services are released three weeks in advance, with new appointments available on a daily basis.

These will be booked quickly in busy periods. While Her Majesty’s Passport Office has maximised the appointment capacity at its seven public counters, it continues to explore options to increase appointment capacity to further support customers with urgent travel needs.
