HC Deb 25 July 1951 vol 491 c58W
66. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action will be taken in respect of the Report of the Bermuda Commission of Inquiry into the questions of population growth and illegitimacy; what other similar inquiries have taken place in the Colonies; and what progress has been made by family planning associations in Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore.

Mr. Cook

On the first point, the Bermuda Legislature will consider the report of the commission of inquiry relative to the growth of the population and the high rate of illegitimacy when it convenes next October. I am aware of no similar inquiries in other territories. On the last point, I am not able to answer for the activities of voluntary family planning associations.
