HC Deb 04 February 1974 vol 868 c254W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he can estimate how many of the women who were delivered in each of the years 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 in England and Wales had previously had a legal abortion.

Mr. Alison

I regret that there is insufficient information available upon which to make estimates.

Mr. Ian Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is now in a position to give a date for the publication of the Lane Report on abortion.

Sir K. Joseph

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the right hon. and learned Member for Aberavon (Mr. John Morris) on 18th January.—[Vol. 867, c.195.]
