HC Deb 03 March 1969 vol 779 c10W
52. Mr. Peter M. Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will exercise the reserve powers contained in Section 1 of the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act, 1967, to ensure that the borough of Brent provides an adequate family planning service in accordance with the terms of the above Act.

Mr. Crossman

The council has increased the local facilities substantially since the Act came into force and is considering further expansion. I do not think it would be justifiable to act as my hon. Friend suggests.
