De La Rue? Aren't they the outfit that print our money? Or is that Waddington's?
Oh well - what the hell - go for the cheapest bidder whatever - that's how the Gov does things nowadays. Presumably if the French printers fall behind on security devices in our passports, they'll be easier to forge.....
On the other hand, after Br****it, who'll want to forge a British passport?
