HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c493W
Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, further to his Written Answer on 18th January, what professional advice he took in coming to his decision that the issue of artificial insemination by donor for lesbians is a clinical and not a policy judgment.

Mr. Moyle

I am writing to the hon. Member on this point and the related issues raised in his letter to my right hon. Friend.

Figures for expenditure in 1977 are not yet available, but in the case of Ethiopia expenditure will be lower than in 1976, largely because of the difficulty of keeping Technical Co-operation staff there in present circumstances.
