<p>The criteria for the issue, withdrawal or refusal of a British passport are set
out under the Royal Prerogative, which is put before Parliament from time to time
(<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-issuing-withdrawal-or-refusal-of-passports"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-issuing-withdrawal-or-refusal-of-passports</a>).
A passport may be confiscated or revoked if a person did not or no longer meets those
criteria or if the passport is being used or suspected of being used for purposes
which may be unlawful.</p><p> </p>
