§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the holder of a passport endorsed "holder has the right of abode in the United Kingdom" is required to make a fresh application for a certificate of patriality when the earlier passport expires; what evidence is required to support an application for a certificate of patriality; and why the previous passport is not accepted as sufficient proof of entry to, and residence in, the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. RaisonA person whose passport is so endorsed does not need to make special application for a fresh endorsement when the passport expires. The new passport will normally be endorsed at the time of issue. If the hon. and learned Member has a particular point in mind, perhaps he would write to me about it.
