§ Dr. Stuttafordasked the Secretary of State for Social Services which leaflets published and printed by his Department will carry the addresses of local family planning advice centres; and whether he will arrange for this information to be given in leaflet form by local medical executives when new medical cards are issued.
§ Mr. AlisonIt would not be practicable to list all the local addresses on national leaflets, nor would it be appropriate for executive councils to give this information with every medical card. We are, however, considering arranging for a reference to family planning in appropriate national literature on family benefits.

§ Dr. Stuttafordasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will arrange for posters to be displayed in local post offices, along with other departmental notices, notifying the general public of local family planning provision.
§ Mr. AlisonThe nature and scope of family planning services vary from area to area according to local circumstances and the resources that can be made available. The arrangements for publicity are therefore best determined locally. I will, however, keep my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind.
