asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ensure that in future the database of the Identity and Passport Service records whether a person has been issued with a replacement passport and that the circumstances of the first loss will be taken into account in deciding whether to issue a replacement passport in the event of a subsequent application for a replacement passport.

The Identity and Passport Service database is already noted with this information. The circumstances in which passports are refused to British citizens have been announced in Parliament from time to time and do not include refusal on the basis of having previously lost a passport in any circumstances.
