asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy not to change the outside design and material of the British passport.

Mr. Luard

As the Prime Minister announced to the House on 4th December 1975, the European Council agreed at its meeting of 1st and 2nd December on the introduction of a uniform passport as from 1978. The Government are committed to the adoption of a uniform style with our European partners. Discussions on the details are proceeding.
