Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 29 July (HL1278), what plans they have to conduct research into the public demand for a UK-only style passport following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU; and, if changes to the passport are introduced, what plans they have to ensure that applications for the new style passport will be managed, and new passports issued, in a timely manner.

No decisions have been made about any possible changes to the UK passport and the timings around any potential changes.
