Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the requirement following UK's departure from the EU that passports must be stamped on a fresh page upon each entry and exit to the EU, what consideration have they given to increasing the number of pages in passports, particularly for airline flight crew; and what steps the Passport Office is taking to ensure that essential workers are supplied with new documents within 24 hours of request.

There are currently no plans to increase pages in the British passport.

Frequent travellers already have the option to apply for a 54-page passport.

Her Majesty’s Passport Office prioritises applications which meet its urgent and compassionate criteria. The criteria include employees in the aviation industry who can evidence their need for a passport for work purposes.
