HC Deb 05 July 1989 vol 156 c192W
Mr. Ward

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has any plans to relocate the Liverpool passport office to an area of the country needing additional jobs.

Mr. Renton

I appreciate the concern and irritation felt generally as a result of recent strike action at the Liverpool passport office. There are, however, no current plans to relocate this office. As I indicated on 14 June in reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Leeds, North-West (Dr. Hampson) at column462 we shall be reviewing the location and number of the regional passport offices in general later this year.
