HC Deb 05 June 1951 vol 488 c92W
88. Mr. Kaberry

asked the Secretary of State for War why his Department, on the consideration of an application for a Commission in the Women's Nursing Service, insist upon the production of a birth certificate issued only by the Registrar-General and refuse to accept a certified copy of a birth certificate issued by a local registrar of births.

Mr. Strachey

My Department is prepared to accept either full birth certificate or the shortened version, whether issued by the Registrar-General or by a local registrar of births.
