Disgusting waste of money!
'The Home Office has confirmed it will spend almost £500m redesigning passports for British citizens once the UK has left the European Union, paving the way for a possible return to the old dark-blue style. Since the referendum last June, some pro-Brexit MPs and campaign groups have called for the return of blue passports to replace the current burgundy ones carried by all EU citizens. The Home Office has invited businesses to apply for the £490m redesign project, with the new passports set to come into existence in 2019 – although it stressed this is because the current contract is ending, rather than because of the exit process. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7662601.html

Well it's not like we've never had to redesign our passports before, we had to do it when we joined the EU and so we have to do it now that we're leaving. If the current contract expires in 2019 then they would get a new design regardless

Does it always cost this much to redesign , I though no one was having a passport change until they expired then you pay for it yourself

You may not feel it's a waste of public money, others might. If you think £490m is nothing you've been playing virtual tycoon too long :/

The change is due anyhow.
I doubt it will go back to the dark blue style, but I suppose if the public want it then it could sway it. Go for Gold I say. |

"I say ol' chap, remember how life used to be so much better back in the old days? And remember how passports used to be blue? Let's make passports blue again! Then life will be good again with blue passports and no immigrants. Fish and chips and a warm pint you say? Why, don't mind if I do! Just give me 10 minutes to finish off Nigel and I'll grab my flatcap and be right with you. Nom nom nom."

Funny thing is, the government had the choice to change the design of the passport at any point.
