§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to provide easier and cheaper access to older civil registration records. [40817]
§ Mrs. LiddellThe Registration Acts are quite specific as to the means of access to all the records of births, deaths and marriages. The Acts allow members of the public to search the indexes in order to identify the entries they are looking for and to obtain certified copies (certificates) on payments of the appropriate statutory fees. The Registrar General has no powers to make available or disclose registration information in any other way.
