I refer to the attached table which provides by calendar year the volume of passports issued by each passport office in the UK from 2010 to 2015.<\/p>

The number of passports issued by the Newport office dropped in 2012 and 2013 because it ceased to process postal applications during this time. Newport then restarted postal passport production in 2014.<\/p>

The number of passports issued by the Glasgow office dropped in 2011 because it also ceased to process postal applications during this time. However, Glasgow continued to utilise counter staff to process a small number of postal applications through the subsequent years.<\/p>
