§ Mr. SteenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will meet the hon. Member for Totnes to discuss the application for the renewal of the United Kingdom passport of Miss Eulisa De Freitas. [142868]
§ Beverley Hughes[holding answer 11 December 2003]I wrote to the hon. Member on 26 November 2003 and will place a copy of my letter in the Library. I hope he will agree that a meeting would serve no useful purpose as there is nothing more I can add to that letter which sets out fully the issues in this case and the reasons why I have no power to issue a UK passport for Miss Freitas.
