British-Danish couple say new UK passport rules may separate them from children

Family learned of change while abroad, and fear dual-national children will have to stay with relatives while they return to apply for passports

A British man and a Danish woman fear they will be separated from their young children in Copenhagen airport because of new border control rules on British dual nationals.

James Scrivens and his wife, Sara, who live in the UK in Wales, were visiting relatives in Norway and Denmark during the school holidays, and learned about the new Home Office rules only while they were abroad.
