Yes he has his passport

According to the guidance documents for the EU Settlement Scheme, section "Travel outside the Common Travel Area" (page 29/101):

Travel outside the Common Travel Area

An application made under Part 1 of Appendix EU will not be treated as automatically withdrawn if the applicant travels outside the Common Travel Area before the application has been decided.

This means, unlike other applications where traveling abroad results in the automatic withdrawal of the application, for the specific case of an application under the Settlement Scheme (Part 1 of Appendix EU of the immigration rules), this does not happen.

So, assuming his current and valid Family Permit is in that passport, he can travel abroad.

I know what happens. Immirgation boards automatically replaces the continuous letters "e", "u", "s", s" by "EU Settlement Scheme", and the below link (spaces added in between content in []) gets replaced by something that does not exist!:

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/845641/main-[e u s s]-guidance-v3.0-ext.pdf

So just copy paste the above, remove the [] and any space within them, and you get the link!
