HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 cc58-9W
36. Mr. James Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of the recommendations in "A Birth Control Plan for Britain", published by the Birth Control Campaign, a copy of which is in his possession, he will ensure that the inclusion of full birth control services within the reorganised structure for the National Health Service, planned for April, 1974, is considered as part of his current review of family planning services.

Sir K. Joseph

I have not yet concluded my review of family planning policy. All relevant information will be taken into account.

Dr. Stuttaford

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will encourage public bodies to accept the notices for family planning facilities from the Marie Stopes Memorial Centre.

Sir K. Joseph

I have not received a request for such assistance from the Marie Stopes Memorial Centre. This is not a body for which I am responsible and although I am in favour of suitable publicity for family planning services, it would not be right for me to interfere with the discretion of public bodies over the acceptance of these advertisements.
