Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending the provision of concessionary passports people aged over of 80.

Concessionary passports are issued free of charge to British national customers born on or before 2 September 1929. The concession was introduced in 2004 as part of a series of measures to recognise the contribution of British nationals to the war effort, rather than being an age-related concession.

There are no current plans to review it at this stage.

HM Passport Office guidance on concessionary passports is published online: Concessionary passports (publishing.service.gov.uk)
