HC Deb 01 December 1970 vol 807 c326W
78. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he will announce the result of his investigation into the allegations concerning the sale of live foetuses for research.

Sir K. Joseph

These allegations were investigated by my predecessor, and I do not consider that any further investigation is called for. An Advisory Group is inquiring into the ethical, medical, social and legal implications of using foetuses and foetal material for research.
