Some passport interviews suspended

Interviews for first-time applicants for passports have been suspended in London as staff struggle to deal with the 30,000 backlog of applications, the Home Office has said.

First-time adult applicants who have booked in for interviews at HM Passport Office's Globe House office in Victoria are being directed to other passport offices in South East England so staff there can concentrate on fast-track renewals.
