§ 37. Mr. LOGANasked the Minister of Health how often in the last 12 months under the control of the health authority of the county of London pregnancy has been terminated operatively in cases of tuberculosis; and has the written consent of the parents been sought and obtained
Sir H. YOUNGInquiries would be prolonged and costly, and it is entirely a matter, in the first place, for the discretion of the local authorities.
§ Mr. LOGANIf I confine it to the London area, is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to send out a circular saying that he is not in agreement with such murders taking place?
Sir H. YOUNGI really cannot give any tacit assent to the implication of the hon. Member's supplementary question. If there is any case in which there are circumstances to which the hon. Member thinks attention should be called, perhaps he will favour me with particulars of it.
