You might not - or probably won’t - hear...

Unfortunately.

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

The Torygraph & Daily Fail have also published articles on the subject. Tweeting/emailing the journalists who wrote the articles, & editors, might help keep the subject in the public eye.
