§ 14. Dame Irene Wardasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what grounds he has announced a 100 per cent. increase in the charge for passport renewals.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThis question was dealt with fully in the reply which my hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Enfield, East (Mr. Ernest Davies) on 13th April. I have nothing to add.
§ Dame Irene WardIs my right hon. and learned Friend aware that that Answer was entirely and absolutely unacceptable to the vast number of people interested in extending travel as widely as possible? Will the Foreign Secretary's decision involve an Order in Council, or any Parliamentary procedure which will enable a vote of the House to take place? If not, may I give notice that I shall raise the matter at the earliest possible moment on the Adjournment?
§ Dame Irene WardOn a point of order.
§ Mr. SpeakerThe hon. Lady has given notice that she will raise the matter on the Adjournment.
§ Dame Irene WardI have not given notice that I wish to raise this matter on the Adjournment but, in order to make it doubly sure, may I give notice that I will raise the matter on the Adjournment 1015 and, at the same time, have private conversations with my right hon. and learned Friend?
