Passports: Dover Port
(asked on 8th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason the Port of Dover are no longer accepting collective passports.
This question was answered on 15th June 2022
The UK is a signatory to the 1961 Council of Europe treaty which provides for collective passports for young people. Continued acceptance of these passports from those who have ratified the treaty is current practice. The UK has not left the Council of Europe.
It should be noted several EU countries have declared they will no longer accept a collective passport issued by the UK under this treaty.
