Ian C. Lucas – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian C. Lucas on 2016-03-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 22 February 2016 to Question 26844, whether the maximum customer travel of one and a half hours or 65 miles for an interview for a passport application refers to a one-way journey or round trip.

Please accept my apologies for an error which was made in the response to question 26844.
Under the planned changes to HM Passport Offices the vast majority of passport application interviewees will see no change to their travel time. In a small number of cases passport application interviewees will have to travel further but this should not be more than 65 miles or one and a half hours additional one-way travel from their previous closest office.
