HC Deb 06 July 1994 vol 246 c217W
Mr. Burden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to allow the amendment of birth register entries to recognise gender identity disorder sufferers in their reassigned roles.

Mr. Sackville

None. The birth register is a record of historical fact; it is not, nor does it purport to be, a record of current status or identity. Corrections to entries in the birth register may be made only where an error is shown to have existed when the birth was registered.
