HC Deb 22 November 1973 vol 864 c501W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will ask, community physicians to advise parents whose children are for family limitation.

Sir K. Joseph

The advice which I am preparing for the new health authorities on the family planning service will emphasise their rôle in helping parents to plan their families and to avoid unwanted pregnancies, especially where an unplanned extra baby might cause the children in the family to suffer.
