HC Deb 26 July 1968 vol 769 c240W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will establish a committee to review the exercise by the Passport Office of its discretion concerning the issue of passports in London to citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies.

Mr. Foley

In so far as applications to the Passport Office by active supporters of the illegal régime in Rhodesia are concerned, the matter is already covered by the arrangements outlined in the statement circulated on 27th June by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs. Consideration is being given to the extension of the review procedure to the refusal of passports to citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies unconnected with Rhodesia. The result of this consideration will be announced in due course.—[Vol. 767, c.126–130.]
