A Bill to make provision about the registration of births and deaths where particulars are given in Welsh and English; to permit certificates of particulars of entries of registers of births and deaths to be in Welsh or English only in such circumstances; and for connected purposes.
The Bill would amend the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953. It would allow registration in English and Welsh when a birth or death has occurred in England, and would provide for certificates to be issued in either language as well as bilingually. It would also provide for the issuing of short death certificates.
