§ Mr. THURTLEasked the Minister of Health if he has received a resolution passed by a recent conference of the National Council of Women's Societies asking that local authorities should be permitted to give information on birth control to married women who desire it; if he is aware that this resolution was passed by a large majority; and if he is proposing to take any action to carry out the wishes of this representative body of organised women?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have received this resolution, though I have not been informed by what majority it was passed. The question has been considered by the Government and they do not propose to depart from the policy hitherto followed in this matter.
