In page 24, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:

“Information relating to contact preference

17.In every case where an applicant is provided under this Act with a copy of the records that contain the birth information to which the application relates, or with a statement setting out the birth information contained in those records, the Authority shall send to the applicant, by prepaid registered post or other recorded delivery, a statement by the Authority setting out, in so far as it has established in relation to each relevant parent, whether— (a) he or she has not made a statement under section 38(11),

(b) he or she has made a statement under section 38(11)that either of the following applies:
