Mrs May
As I have indicated, steps are being taken to address the demand we are seeing and increase the ability to process the applications. That is against the background of a real recognition that many people are applying to renew their passport or for new passports at this time because they want to go on holiday in the summer. We recognise that and are making every effort to address the issue.

I have constituents with a very poorly child overseas who may need to get back to London quickly for treatment, and they will welcome today’s announcements.

Through what route can they be obtained, to save constituents such as mine from having to go all around the system?
