There is “no need to be concerned” about the island’s ongoing push to regain the printing of Bermuda passports from the British Government, home affairs minister Walton Brown told Parliament.

“We do believe we will make progress — it’s time consuming, but we will,” Mr Brown said.

The switch led to travel havoc for some Bermudians attempting to enter the United States. Mr Brown said that on May 24 he had shared a report on the challenges to Her Majesty’s Passport Office.

It followed a meeting with UK authorities in February, he said.

The details came in response to parliamentary questions from One Bermuda Alliance MP Patricia Gordon-Pamplin.

Britain’s decision to take over passport printing resulted in travel problems from May 2016.
