HC Deb 20 May 1976 vol 911 c644W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the obligations Her Majesty's Government have to a British passport holder.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to holders of United Kingdom passports. It would not be practicable, in the compass of a parliamentary reply, to detail Her Majesty's Government's obligations to such persons. The nature of those obligations generally is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
