HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 c328W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that in future all passports which indicate that a person is a citizen of the British state also has an appropriate space for indicating the nationality of the passport holder, to enable those who wish to have themselves identified as Welsh, Scottish, Irish or English, can do so.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

No. The United Kingdom passport, whether in the old or the new format, must reflect United Kingdom nationality law; this makes provision for the single definition of British citizen.
