§ 63. Mr. ALBERYasked the Minister of Health if he bas had brought to his notice the traffic in bogus British birth certificates; and whether he is now prepared to consider with the Home Office precautions for the prevention of the misuse of birth certificates?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNothing further on the subject has come to my notice since the hon. Member's previous question in November last, when, as I may remind him, I informed him that I was not clear as to the nature of the precautions which he had in mind but that I would consider any cases of which particulars were given to me.
§ Mr. ALBERYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware of the statements made in the Press that the Home Office is inquiring into the fraudulent use of these birth certificates abroad?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat question should be addressed to the Home Secretary.
§ Mr. C. WILLIAMSBut will the right hon. Gentleman consult with the Home Office on this matter?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have already done so.
