So the British company needs to make a few bob on each passport they produce & then of course the government will want their pound of flesh to boot! So all the people saying it's not right to produce our passport outside of UK are all going to be willing to dig deeper into their pockets & not be griping about the price hikes? Really ... ?

I agree the passport should be produced by a UK firm & I have no choice but to bite my tongue & accept the charges they demand. Because as a Brit living outside of the UK I "must" have a valid passport on hand to present to all & sundry who require me to do so as I go about my daily doings. At least within the confines of the UK Joe Public has the option of not having to purchase said document (just as long as they're prepared to stay within the bondaries of our green & pleasant lands).
