Dear HQ Enquiries,
Thank your for you reply, I did however request that information
was provided on number of applications received up until the
present date (as of 28th October), the information already in the
public domain also only runs up until the end of July 2008. Also I
asked about cases for fraud detected or under investigation,
although similar that is not the same as number of passports
refused.
Regards
James
Yours sincerely,
James Elsdon-Baker
