HC Deb 08 June 1959 vol 606 cc71-2W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the caution printed on the back flyleaf of British passports, namely, that a passport remains the property of Her Majesty's Government, that it is a valuable document and that it should not be allowed to pass into the possession of an unauthorised person, he will so amend his regulations as to require that the British passports of deceased persons be returned to the Passport Office for cancellation and retention.

Mr. Profumo

No.
