§ Mr. Brooksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of 80W those local health authorities who have taken no action so far to implement the powers granted to them by the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act, 1967.
§ Mr. CrossmanRecent inquiries have shown that all authorities in England are now providing a family planning service of some kind, with the exception of Bootle, who are actively considering the matter in conjunction with the Family Planning Association. 80 per cent. of authorities have expanded their service following the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act, 1967. I regret that full information is riot available to enable me to list authorities who do not provide a service in non -medical cases; I am, however, arranging to collect for next year onwards statistical information covering this point.
