HC Deb 22 June 1988 vol 135 cc564-5W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will inquire into the circumstances in which Mrs. Nannete Ida Goodman of 12 Avenue terrace, Southend on Sea and whose date of birth is 5 October 1907, has not received her renewal passport for which she applied to Petty France on 19 April, despite her having explained the urgency.

Mr. Renton

The application has been traced, and a replacement passport was posted to Mrs. Goodman yesterday. The application form indicated an intention to travel during June or July for holiday purposes, but no specific travel date or destination were shown, and no indication of urgency was given. The application was not therefore given priority at the Passport Office.
