HC Deb 26 February 1987 vol 111 cc405-6W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement outlining any

treatment which is currently available under the National Health Service which involves the use of human foetal tissue.

Mr. Newton

While amnion from the placenta is sometimes used in the preparation for skin grafting, I am not aware that foetal tissue is used in treatment provided under the National Health Service.
