Contact UKBA and explain that the passport is needed for mortgage transaction.
Be sure they understand it's only a request for your husband's passport not a withdrawal of your application.

It really should not be any problem for them at all.
But who knows anything with UKBA

Good luck and let us know how it goes. It may help others
