HC Deb 22 April 1986 vol 96 c125W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Attorney-General if he plans to introduce a family law reform bill with particular reference to the law on illegitimacy in the next Session of Parliament; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

In its report No. 118 on illegitimacy, published in 1982, the Law Commission made a number of recommendations aimed at removing the legal disadvantages suffered by illegitimate children. These recommendations have been accepted by the Government and will be brought into effect at the earliest possible opportunity.
