Infant Life Preservation Act 1929 (Hansard, 20 January 1989)

HC Deb 20 January 1989 vol 145 c328W 328W

§ Mr. Cash
To ask the Attorney-General when was the last prosecution under the Infant Life Preservation Act 1929.

§ The Attorney-General
The last prosecution conducted by the Director of Public Prosecutions under the Infant Life Preservation Act 1929 was in 1987. I regret that in my written answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Batley and Spen (Mrs. Peacock) on 15 December 1988 at column600 I erroneously stated that the last prosecution conducted by the director under the Act was in 1980.
