HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c764W
Mr. Terry Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will have talks with Avon county council with a view to getting the registration of deaths office at Frenchay hospital reopened.

Mr. Moyle

No. Registration arrangements in the area are the responsibility of the Avon county council. My right hon. Friend has no power to direct them in these matters.
