HC Deb 28 October 1998 vol 318 c184W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps his Department has taken to co-ordinate a review of the issues relating to the legal status of trans-sexual persons; and if he will make a statement. [56460]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

Matters of concern to transsexuals are the responsibility of a number of Government Departments. The Government are considering how best to take forward the issues raised by the recent judgment by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of two British trans-sexuals, Horsham and Sheffield.
