Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of issuing emergency travel documents for surrogate babies of British nationals born in Ukraine.

His Majesty’s Passport Office provides significant support to the commissioning parents of surrogate babies.

Where there are safety concerns, HM Passport Office works in conjunction with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to prioritise the processing of applications. Once a passport application has been made FCDO can consider issuing an Emergency Travel Document on a case by case basis where its existing exceptional circumstance criteria is met and checks have been satisfactorily completed.
