§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to provide that children born out of wedlock to the same mother and the same acknowledged father should be legally recognised as siblings.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesI am not sure from the wording of my hon. Friend's Question what particular feature of existing law she wishes to see changed. Since however a Law Commission working party is reviewing the law relating to children born out of wedlock I suggest that she might put her points to the commission.
