Free Passports

Asked about free passports for the WWII generation, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said that the Home Office had announced in 2004 that it would give free passports to anyone born before 1926, and this was the realisation of that announcement.

Asked if the offer of free passports was a way of recognising the sacrifices the WWII generation had made, the PMS said that the journalist should look at the Home Office’s original announcement or speak to them directly for details on exactly who was eligible; his understanding was that it was anyone born before 1926.
