Clwyd South MP, Simon Baynes, has paid tribute to Wrexham County Borough Council and Denbighshire County Council during a speech delivered in the House of Commons.
Mr Baynes paid tribute to both councils when speaking during the Second Reading of the Registers of Births and Deaths Bill on Friday 16th October.
The proposed Bill will reform the way Births and Deaths are recorded in England and Wales, replacing the current paper-based system with an electronic register and saving up to £170 million.
During his speech, Simon Baynes MP referred to how the recording of deaths is a particularly upsetting and sad time, speaking about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and also, the loss of his own mother earlier this year shortly after becoming an MP.
Simon Baynes MP said in his speech:
“I am happy to support the Bill. I welcome the removal of unnecessary duplicative practice and recognise that, if passed, the Bill will facilitate a more efficient registration of births and deaths.
“In my constituency of Clwyd South, it is Wrexham County Borough Council and Denbighshire County Council which administer the registers of births and deaths. And I want take the opportunity to pay tribute to the sensitive and efficient way in which they conduct that business. It gives me great pleasure to support the Bill.”
