HC Deb 02 December 1983 vol 49 c620W
Mr. J. Enoch Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what categories of British citizens would not be issued with an EC common format passport; and what would be the format of the passport issued to them.

Mr. Whitney

When the new British passport in the European common format is introduced, it will be issued to those British citizens who are entitled to benefit from the European Community provisions relating to the free movement of persons. It has not yet been decided what format of passport will be issued to other British citizens.
