§ Sir D. Walker-Smithasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what grounds and for what reason joint passports held by spouses can be used by the husband if he travels abroad alone, but not by the wife; and if he will give consideration to removing this anomaly.
§ Mr. LuardThere is no anomaly in this matter. A family passport may be issued in the name of either a husband or a wife, the other spouse being included on it. It is generally internationally acceptable only when used by the holder.
