§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Health if he will seek to amend Section 10 of the Births and Deaths Registration Act of 1953, to ensure that where an affiliation order proving paternity of a child and issued by a magistrate's court of summary jurisdiction has been obtained by the mother, the father's name shall be inserted in the appropriate column of the birth's registration where the father refuses to attend the registrar's office.
§ Sir B. StrossThe Act is at present under review and my right hon. Friend will consider this suggestion should the opportunity for amending legislation occur.
