passport and holiday refunds

Additional Information

The truth is that is tens of thousands of people are finding that their holidays are being cancelled because they are not actually getting a passport

However, Mr Cameron said the Home Office had been on top of the situation since the beginning of the year.

The Government had on Wednesday morning denied there had been a pile-up of applications after unions claimed a 12-year high in applications and cuts in staffing had lead to a 500,000 backlog.

Mr Cameron and his Home Secretary Theresa May said 250 staff had been redeployed to tackle the problem, working seven days a week around the clock to make sure people got their documents.

The increase in passport applications started in January and coincides with the closures of regional application offices across the world in an attempt to cut costs.

It Is about time the home office were held accountable for the failures of its own agency
