David Hanson MP, Labour’s Shadow Immigration Minister, responding to reports that passports are being sent to wrong addresses, said:

“Sending someone else’s passport details and documents to another person in the system is an appalling error. Disclosing individuals’ personal details to a third party is a serious security breach as well as a breach of privacy.

“I want an urgent examination of how this has happened and what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again. This is another error on Theresa May’s watch and everybody is wondering when she is going to get a grip of the Passport Office and solve these continuous problems of her own making.”
