The new UK passport to be issued after Brexit will be made in France, according to the current British manufacturer. The current burgundy passport, in use since 1988, will revert to its original blue and gold colour from October 2019. The boss of UK supplier De La Rue told the BBC that Franco-Dutch firm Gemalto had won the £490m contract. Culture Secretary Matthew Hancock said a final decision had not been made. However, the Home Office said passports did not have to be made in the UK and some blank covers were already made overseas.
