Employees at Her Majesty’s Passport Office (“HMPO”) have been informed to resume work by 13 April 2020, in the middle of distress this action might put the employees and their loved one’s lives at jeopardy.
On 7 April 2020, the decision was publicized through a conference call with HMPO’s Chief Operating Officer, Myrtle Lloyd. In her statement she confirmed the worries over the communal and financial effects of the current epidemic as articulated before by David Nabarro a World Health Organisation (WHO) specialist. He had proposed that if the COVID-19 is not considered acutely the United Kingdom “will become flabbergasted” and that “it will be very difficult to get the financial system and society operating again as we desire it to”.
The notorious attempt to re-open the Passport Office may include requesting up to 2,000 staff to go back to work, with approximately 500 working at any one time. Her Majesty’s Passport Office (“HMPO”) has centres in Belfast, Durham, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Newport and Peterborough.
Her Majesty’s Passport Office’s (“HMPO”) declaration mentioned that “Her Majesty’s Passport Office is wholly obeying to public health advice throughout all of its offices and implementing social distancing procedures to keep both its staff and customers protected”.
Her Majesty’s Passport Office (“HMPO”) also verified that “It persists to work at considerably limited operating levels with a large number of employees working from home where feasible, and employees are spotlighting emergency cases,” such as handling applications needed for ID reasons, mainly where the applicants are doctors or nurses.
On the other hand, Mark Serwotka, the Public and Commercial Services Union General Secretary has termed the Her Majesty’s Passport Office’s ruling to request employees to come back to work in the middle of the COVID-19 disaster “totally shocking” and “extremely irresponsible”. Members of staff also voiced their rage by expressing that the Her Majesty’s Passport Office’s “actions are going to destroy people” and pressuring to sue Her Majesty’s Passport Office and the United Kingdom Home Office for carelessness. Enquiries have also been elevated as to how members of staff would go to work without using public transport.
Rupert Shute, the United Kingdom Home Office’s deputy scientific adviser, stated that remaining home was imperative but “we also have to keep operating our lives”, including that “You are no more in danger at the place of work as you would be in your home or at the superstore. It is about curtailing it”.
Mr Shute’s statements resonate the United Kingdom Government’s previous plans to assist the United Kingdom population grow “heard immunity”. Nevertheless, these policies were put sideways after harsh disapproval and after it was exposed that a lockdown would be needed to lessen the contagion rate and shield the leading National Health Service (NHS) staff.
