The Minister said, quite reasonably, that the name should follow the name on a passport. There is a problem with that, however, because not everybody has a passport. What do we say to those people? That they should put the name on the national identity register that they would use on a passport if they applied for one? It gets very difficult. I am still worried about the basis of legality. I do not want the right of people who want to be known by a different name, perhaps every year, to have that right removed.
