Unfortunately, it is when there is a difficulty with passports that these issues come across our desks. It is a nightmare to try negotiate the system in those cases and to find someone to whom one can talk in order to resolve the issue. Nine times out of ten, everything goes smoothly, but unfortunately for elected representatives, we are left in the position of dealing with the situations in which that does not happen. This is always a last-minute situation and there is always a difficulty trying to get somebody to deal with the situation.
