PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PASSPORT INTERVIEWS AND RURAL POST OFFICES (16 January 2006)
Motion Details
That this House notes that the Government's decision to carry out face-to-face interviews with first time passport applicants in only 70 locations will mean that residents of rural areas will have to incur a great deal of time and take a great deal of expense in order to travel to their interview; and calls on the Government to conduct these interviews in post offices.
