§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set up a national study into the numbers of abortions carried out on members of ethnic minorities.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI do not consider that such a study would be of any value. Details of the ethnic origin of women having an abortion are not collected.
§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what research has been done on the use of abortion by different racial groups in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI am not aware of any such research.
