A red, white, and BLUE Brexit! Passports may change colour
BRITISH passports could turn dark blue again after the Government announced a postBrexit redesign.
The Home Office has put a £490million contract out to tender for design and production of British passports from 2019 onwards, the year Britain leaves the EU and when the current 10-year deal expires.
Eurosceptics hope Ministers will take the opportunity to ditch the burgundy cover introduced in 1988 to match other EU countries.
The contract is to make more than six million passports a year for the next decade, with updated security features. But the Home Office said no decision had yet been made about the colour of the new UK passports.
