HC Deb 17 April 1973 vol 855 c75W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will seek to ascertain the purpose of the grant of £5,150 made by the Social Science Research Council to Mrs. M. Simms of the Eugenics Society.

Mrs. Thatcher

I understand from the Social Science Research Council that the purpose of the grant will be to compare the conclusions of the Birkett and Lane Committees on abortion, and to study changes in social attitudes and other factors since the 1930s.
