UK Passport Service: Framework Document (Hansard, 14 October 2003)

HL Deb 14 October 2003 vol 653 c108WA 108WA

§ Lord Hogg of Cumbernauld
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have to publish a framework document for the new UK Passport Service. [HL4831]

§ Baroness Scotland of Asthal
On 1 September 2003 the Criminal Records Bureau became an independent agency in its own right and the UK Passport Service was re-established as a separate agency. The UK Passport Service and Criminal Records Bureau will not operate under separate framework documents. The UK Passport Service framework document has been published today and copies have been placed in the Library of the House.
