HC Deb 22 March 1968 vol 761 c170W
Mrs. McKay

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to amend the birth certificates. of persons who have changed sex.

Mr. K. Robinson

Where an apparent change of sex arises from ambiguity or misdiagnosis of the sex at birth, the entry in the birth register can be amended if it is shown that an error was made at registration and that the person concerned was not, at birth, of the sex originally recorded. If my hon. Friend is concerned with a particular case, I will gladly see whether anything can be done to help.
