Dear Mr Baker
Freedom of Information Act 2000: Birth Certificate
Thank you for your enquiry dated 19 June and received on 22 June 2009.
You stated your assertion that
“there are at birth 2 certificates of birth one for a
natural entity/person and one for a legal entity/person.”
You then went on to ask:
“I would like all documentation on how the legal
entity/person can claim the interest incurred on the account of the legal entity/person
or liquidate that account.”

recorded information held by a public authority. I can confirm that HM Treasury does
