I’ve finally managed to complete my Feedback form on the Consultation about Access to Information etc, and have e-mailed it off.
If anyone is interested it is in PDF format at
http://feedback.harritt.net
Remember if you haven’t sent yours back yet, you have only until Saturday, the Consultation closes 31st July 2004
Now to write my letter to my MP which will be based pretty much on the comments that I make in my answers to Question 19 of the Feedback form, (General Comments) and Questions 7-11
Once that is done I shall be looking at the draft legislation on access to birth and death registrations, that at the moment we all rely so heavily on to trace those who we are searching for. I hope you will all have a look at that as well and tell me what you think. Has it improved from the suggested changes that ONS published last year, and that we all discussed here?
I have tried to make it more simple for everyone by picking out just the parts that are important to the adoption community and putting them on a webpage at

Please don’t be lazy don’t be apathetic don’t be dim :~) have look at this before it is too late to do anything. Tell me and everyone else here which bits you think are good for us all and which are bad. Then perhaps if it is not right, between us we can get it put right, they have already made many changes suggested by the adoption community. You can see what my concerns were last year at

I think the latest draft has answered a lot of my concerns but not all of them, what do YOU think?
