this is everything to do with the british people voting to leave the european union, the home officee home office to produce disposable peel—off stickers for those people who feel concerned about this, with the words "european union"? my noble friend makes a very practical point, and in fact, one can purchase passport covers and they can be in any colour. and they can say anything that anybody wants. they can... the noble lady is quite at liberty to do that, but i think it's absolutely right that the home office prepares for the situation of the uk leaving the european union. given the limbo that the country finds itself, wouldn't it be sensible to put a question mark after the "european union"... laughter and then in due course, my lords, we could tipp—ex it out. lord blunkett — with a tongue—in—cheek suggestion for the uk‘s new—look passports. well, after a "will they, won‘t they?" few days, mps and peers found out on thursday that they could have a week‘s easter break. they‘ll be back on tuesday 23 april — and so will we. so please join us then. but for now from me, alicia mccarth
