People applying for new passports now have to undergo interviews and have their fingerprints taken. When the Government first announced the initiative, they said that people living inremote areas not serviced by one of the 67 interview offices wold be able to give the interviews over a webcam link, to save them the inconvenience of travelling long distances. It now turns out that there will be no webcam links for people living on the island of Anglesey, and they will have to travel to Bangor at their own expense.
