HC Deb 30 July 1951 vol 491 c130W
50. Mr. Wellwood

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will arrange to open a branch passport office in Northern Ireland as all applications now have to be dealt with outside Northern Ireland.

Mr. Ernest Davies

The amount of passport work originating in Northern Ireland is very small, and I do not consider the cost of establishing a separate office in Northern Ireland to deal with it would be justified.
