HC Deb 11 November 1997 vol 300 c702
13. Mr. Dalyell

What consultation he has had with the Scottish Office since the referendum on the transfer of responsibilities which are currently his to the Scottish Parliament. [13821]

Mr. Dobson

Our proposals for devolution are set out in the White Paper "Scotland's Parliament". There are no plans to transfer any of my responsibilities to the Scottish Parliament.

Mr. Dalyell

May I assume that fertility treatment and abortion will remain reserved powers?

Mr. Dobson

That is correct.
