Mr. Niall Burgess:
This is a complex multifaceted three to four year project. We have taken it on in blocks and phases. This involves replacing the software, replacing the machinery and phasing in of improvements over a period of time. It must be done in a phased way but the most significant improvement over the past year was the adult online renewals. The child passport renewals online are due to follow.
