The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will list the number of passports issued in each of the last 10 years, broken down by (a) place of and (b) nationality at birth.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

His Majesty’s Passport Office does not hold data in a reportable format relating to an individual’s place or country of birth, and this information could therefore only be provided at disproportionate cost.
