Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Brandon Lewis and Lord Mann

Monday 16th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Brandon Lewis]

Reviewing identity documents such as passports as part of an application is obviously an important part of maintaining a robust immigration system. Travel documents are retained for the duration of the decision-making process, but if the applicant wishes to travel while the application is being considered, dependent on the route through which they have applied, we will of course return their passport to them. If the applicant needs a passport for ID purposes, we can send certified copies that they are able to use.
