Family Records Centre (EDM1999)

Family Records Centre

EDM number 1999 in 2006-07, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 24/07/2007.

That this House deplores the decision by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to close the Family Records Centre in Islington in 2008, leaving England and Wales without a Public Search Room for the first time since 1836 and resulting in the compulsory redundancy of 20 members of staff; believes that the provision of a service online or on microfiche is a completely inadequate substitute, especially for customers requiring documents urgently, for example in support of passport applications and benefit claims; and therefore believes that the ONS's decision represents a complete withdrawal of services that the Registrar General has a duty to provide to customers ranging from legal firms to genealogy societies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
