HC Deb 23 April 1975 vol 890 c325W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans she has to introduce legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the Lane Committee on abortion.

Dr. Owen

Most of the committee's recommendations which require legislation are likely to be considered by the Select Committee examining the Abortion (Amendment) Bill. We intend to await the report of the latter before considering whether we should ourselves make legislative proposals.
