Committee Chairman Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP said:
“When Mr Pugh came before the Committee last time he promised that the emergency action taken by the Home Secretary and the additional steps he was implementing would reduce the backlog.
The opposite has happened and it would appear the amount of applications has actually increased whilst the number of passports being issued has gone down.
The Committee will be interested to hear why this has occurred and what further steps will be taken to rectify it.”
Timing is approximate.
