HC Deb 12 March 1975 vol 888 c135W
19. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will amend the wording of Section 7 of the passport application form B so that anyone who has been resident at the same address for five years can countersign passport applications.

Mr. Hattersley

It would be undesirable to amend the existing rules pending the completion of the present review of passport procedures.
