Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the attrition rate was for (a) permanent, (b) fixed-term, (c) agency and (d) other staff in HM Passport Office in the period between 1 April 2022 and 21 July 2022.
This data is not held in a reportable format. However, HM Passport Office staffing numbers have been increased over 1200 since April 2021.
This has delivered the operational capacity needed to process applications in record numbers, at approximately one million each month.
HM Passport Office will continue to recruit to cover staff leaving, ensuring it remains fully resourced.
