An estimated 10,000 passports were issued to fraudulent applicants in 12
months, the Home Office has said. 

The documentation was issued by the Identity and Passport Service in the
year up to September 2006. 

Last month, a report suggested more than 1,000 passports were going
missing in the post each year. 

Conservative MP Grant Shapps, who compiled those figures, said they
raised "serious concerns" over the risks of identity fraud and
terrorism.
