Lost UK Passport
I didn't lose mine, but I understand that new rules have been implemented that affect British travellers who lose their passports whilst abroad.
How does a British traveller who has lost their passport get a replacement passport? And secondarily, how long does it take assuming China as an indicative locale?
Note: this is not a duplicate of an existing question.
