HC Deb 10 February 1970 vol 795 cc335-6W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give figures to the latest available date showing the percentage of abortions performed before the 14th week of pregnancy and after the 13th week respectively, in each of the hospital regions.

Dr. John Dunwoody

I regret that information is not readily available in the precise form requested. The following table, however, gives percentages by hospital regions of terminations up to and including the twelfth week of pregnancy and after the twelfth week.
