Clause 1 - Certain deceased men to be registered as fathers
Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Deceased Fathers) Bill

Mr Tony Clarke (Northampton South, Labour)
I respect the hon. Gentleman's opinion, but I disagree in that an unnecessary burden would be placed on the mother to try to find out such information in advance and whether she could trust the answer that she received. She may find out that a practitioner is unlicensed and acted unlawfully only after the event.
