HC Deb 18 October 1976 vol 917 cc290-1W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to reply to the recommendations of the Select Committee on Abortion: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

I refer my hon. Friend to my hon. Friend's reply to the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Corbett) on 5th August—[Vol. 916, c.1024–5] —in which he said that the recommendations in the Select Committee's First Report will be considered carefully by the House of Commons as a whole.
