HC Deb 09 May 1966 vol 728 c9
27. Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Health when the cervical cancer smear test will be made available to women in the Selby area of Yorkshire.

Mr. Loughlin

Arrangements are at present being made to extend the service to the Selby area, where it should be fully in operation by the end of the year.

Mr. Alison

Is the hon. Member aware that the local medical officer of health said that it would be a much longer delay? Can he confirm that it will certainly be available at the end of the current year?

Mr. Loughlin

If we ask for information for use in the Houses of Parliament, I hope that no one would give us the wrong information. I stand by the Answer.
