Mr. Niall Burgess:

There is a difference between the number of passports that are due to be renewed and the number we believe will be renewed before the year end. Our projections have held fairly firm so far. Our planning is based on the assumption that whereas in 2019, the last full year of operation, we issued just under 1 million passports, the largest number we have ever issued in a single year, next year, in 2022, we will probably issue 1.5 million passports. Many of those not renewed over the previous two years are likely to come back to us for renewal next year. Our current experience is that some people whose passports are due for renewal are not renewing them at present because they are not planning to travel this year.
