A key role of the Department's officials based throughout the country will be to gather timely intelligence of local economic conditions. As these officials are located across the country, they will collect information which may not be apparent to the Department's London-based officials. Further, they will be able to interpret any information more readily using their better knowledge of the local economic environment.The Department is also working to develop a capacity to collect information on current business conditions across the country which will be co-ordinated centrally where that is appropriate. This capacity will include a regular national business survey which should be able to track changes in business conditions over time at sub-national levels. These survey results will be shared with local partners, such as Local Enterprise Partnerships and local authorities, as well as being made publicly available. The Department has just started a procurement process to identify a supplier; a supplier should be in place by this summer.

The IFS (Identity and Passport Service) currently operates seven offices where customers can attend to apply for and be provided with a passport. None of these was closed in the financial year 2010-11.
IPS also provides a number of interview offices for customers who are asked to attend a face to face interview in order to authenticate their identity.
In the financial year 2010-11 10 interview offices closed.
They were located in Andover, Berwick on Tweed, Bury St Edmunds, Dover, Dumfries, Oban, Scarborough, Sleaford, South Molton, and Stirling.
Due to redeployment of staff ahead of formal closure, four of these offices did not undertake any interviews in 2010-11. (Andover, Dover, Dumfries and Stirling).
The office in Oban was replaced by a video interview office from September 2010. (Customers attend the local authority office and are interviewed over a video link.)
Volumes
In the financial year 2010-11, 473,407 applications for passports were made by personal callers to the seven offices where this facility exists:
London—204,205
Liverpool—77,967
Peterborough—56,340
Newport—43,443
Glasgow—44,139
Belfast—15,057
Durham—32,256
In the financial year 2010-11, 300,115 authentication interviews where conducted across the network of 56 interview offices and 26 video interview locations.
Interviews conducted by office
Of the 300,115 interviews detailed above, 2,563 were conducted via our video interview service from the following locations
Passport applications rejected
The total number of refusals following a face to face interview from April 1 2010 to March 31 2011 is six. Additionally, for the same period, 1,601 adults who applied for a UK passport for the first time withdrew prior to their face to face interviews, where otherwise the passport would have been issued.
IFS does not record refusals specifically by postal application or in person application channel. Therefore we cannot say how many applications were rejected at the public counter. However, the figure for detected fraud for 2010-11 for all passport applications (where no passport was issued) is 7,870.
Costs
The cost of running the personal passport application offices in the 2010-11 financial year was £24.223 million
Application offices £10.799 million
Interview offices £13.424 million
These figures are subject to audit finalisation. This amount represents the direct costs associated with seeing passport applicants in person at passport application and interview offices. It does not include administrative overheads such as accommodation and depreciation of assets utilised.
