(asked on 2nd February 2022) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department made of the cost of changing the UK passport colour from burgundy to blue.
This question was answered on 7th February 2022
There were no additional costs of changing the colour of the cover of the passport.
Passports are routinely redesigned every four to five years to guard against counterfeiting, and the change of colour was introduced as part of the most recent design which launched in March 2020.
