The 2020-21 figure for Guernsey passport fees is lower than previous years, as Guernsey received a reduced number of passport applications due to the Covid-19 pandemic.</p> answering member printed Lord Wolfson of Tredegar grouped question UIN HL3599 HL3600 question first answered 15/11/2021 16:52:06 answering member 4901 label Biography information for Lord Wolfson of Tredegar
