I am sure there are days on which a very small number of passports is issued. The Passport Office should give us the highest figures in order that people will be able to see how busy an operation it is and the number of passports issued as a proportion of the population.

We do not have time to address it now as we must go to the Chamber, but can we receive a note on the effect of Brexit? We received information from the Passport Office on the figures for the Northern Ireland Passport Express office and another figure for renewals in Northern Ireland, which was a small percentage of the overall number. We have heard about Brexit being the reason for the increase.
