Mr. Niall Burgess:

The cost that we pay for passport booklets has not increased. In fact we will need to design a new passport booklet, which is part of our passport reform project over the next number of years. The volume of booklets purchased may have increased in that year and I will defer to Ms Jones, who may have that information or perhaps our chief financial officer, but the passport booklet itself has not increased in cost. Does Ms Jones wish to elaborate on that point or deal with the Passport Express issue?
