§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Attorney-General if his attention has been drawn to a statement by His Honour Judge Parry in connection with a citizen without a birth certificate; if he is aware that it had been reported to the judge that a small boy of seven years had no birth certificate, but there was plenty of evidence of a proper birth; that the district registrar refused to have anything to do with it, and stated that children over seven years of age could not be registered at all; that it is inflicting great hardship upon such children; and whether the Government is prepared to bring in a Bill to alter the Statute of 1874 in connection with the registering the birth of children?
§ Sir A. MONDI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave yesterday to a similar question by the hon. Member for the Moss Side Division of Manchester (Lieut.-Colonel Hurst).
