Some good news for a change!
Ohhhh this IS good news! Sorry if it has already been posted about.........
From 7 April the passport fee for customers applying for a UK passport from overseas will be reduced by £45 for adults and £28.50 for children.
The new fees are as follows: Adult 32 page passport £83.00 Child 32 page passport £53.00 Jumbo 48 page passport £91.00 (Child and Adult)
So that is good isn't it - you will still be expected to pay the stupidly high courier fee however!
