Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will institute an inquiry into the working of the Abortion Act in accordance with the request made to him by the Royal College of Nurses.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will set up a public inquiry into the working of the Abortion Act and in particular into abuses in charges by private abortion clinics.

Sir K. Joseph

I must have time to review the working of the Abortion Act myself before I can consider the hon. Members' suggestion.
