Mr. John Grenham:

I can certainly supply the committee with the reference to the UK Bill. The General Register Office is now under the authority of the Department of Social Protection, and two social protection Bills are introduced every year. I have suggested repeatedly to the Department that two lines in one of those Bills would be enough to change the civil registration to give authority to the Minister to allow access under conditions specified by the Minister. That would be the end of the legal obstacle. I will forward the legislative example from the UK to the committee.
