Thousands of Scots have had their summer holiday plans plunged into chaos over a “mountain” of unprocessed passport applications.
The Home Office is understood to have put up to 4000 applications for the travel document from several months ago to the back of the queue – processing new applications first. The Daily Record has heard from scores of Scots who believe their passport applications were lost in a black hole.
Hundreds have been turning up at the Passport Office in Glasgow to desperately seek a last minute answer to their prayers, with some taking suitcases ahead of flights on the same day.
