THE government was in ‘denial’ over the passport backlog, Hyndburn MP Graham Jones said.
The Labour MP said it was ‘totally unfair that hard working people are panicked and distressed when they have saved hard for a well-earned break’.
He said: “The government has been in total denial about the chaos they have created over the passport backlog. Only at the eleventh hour did David Cameron acknowledge that the backlog exists and while new measures have now been put in place, many questions still remain.
“TheHome Secretary has been fighting with the Education Secretary.”
