I thank Mr. Nugent very much indeed. He has cleared up a lot of issues for members. We have had a very good exchange. The passport reminder service is a really good service and would alleviate the problems that arise when people find themselves without a passport a few days before they travel.

I also thank the two great workers from the Passport Office who joined Mr. Nugent today, Ms Fiona Penollar and Ms Siobhan Watters. I thank them for coming in. We look forward to working closely with the witnesses in the future. I thank them for dealing so comprehensively with all the questions raised by members today. Normally we have only one round of questions but today most members came in twice, which shows the level of their interest in this subject. We hope that the Passport Office has a trouble free year this year and will continue the good work it has done over the past few years.
