HC Deb 14 July 1969 vol 787 c20W
Mr. Brooks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to announce the findings of the Government's social survey into the adequacy of the family planning services in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Crossman

The survey is now being planned. It is too early to forecast when results may become available.

Mr. Brooks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will consider making a specific grant to local health authorities for a limited period to encourage them to implement the provisions of the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act, 1967.

Mr. Crossman

I have no powers to make a specific grant.
