Mary Henry (Independent)

It has been brought to my attention that this wording is not the same as the wording in section 49 of the Status of Children Act 1987, which states "no person shall as father of the child be required to give information concerning the birth". Would it not be a good idea to keep the wording the same? The Bill is a very good one, but in these sections there are differences in wording compared to previous Acts which contain similar provisions.
