HC Deb 22 February 1982 vol 18 c300W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the dispute by registration officers and its effect on members of the public wishing to register births, marriages and deaths.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The registration of births and deaths is proceeding normally. In some districts on Saturdays registrars are not attending marriages in churches and chapels and civil weddings are not being performed.
