但是护照办公室主任马克•汤姆森(Mark Thomson)发声为这一设计辩护。
He said: "It wasn't something where we said let's set out to only have two women.
他说:“护照上只放两名女性并非我们一开始就决定好的事情。”
"In trying to celebrate the UK's creativity we tried to get a range of locations and things around the country to celebrate our triumphs over the years, so there we are."
“为了展现英国的创造力,我们在全国范围内寻找一系列地点和事物来庆祝过往的成就,这就是我们得出的结果。”
Asked about the omission of female icons such as Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, he said: "Whenever we do these things there is always someone who wants their favourite rock band or icon in the book.
被问及为何女性偶像简•奥斯汀和勃朗特姐妹等人没有入选,他说:“每当我们做这类事情的时候,总有人希望将他们最爱的摇滚乐队或偶像列入其中。”
"We've got 16 pages, a very finite space. We like to feel we've got a good representative view celebrating some real icons of the UK- Shakespeare, Constable and of course Elisabeth Scott herself."
“护照一共16页,空间非常有限。我们觉得我们的选择已经很有代表性了,莎士比亚、康斯特布尔、当然还有伊丽莎白•斯科特,这些人都是英国真正的标志性人物。”
