§ Mr. Peter Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider the compulsory labelling of the packaging of contraceptive devices with a note of the estimated failure rate of that particular brand and form of device.
§ Dr. VaughanThe effectiveness of a particular form of contraception is closely related to the way it is used. With this in mind I would expect, as regards the family planning services provided under the National Health Service Act, which are my right hon. Friend's responsibility, the failure rate of particular forms of birth control to be among the issues discussed by the general practitioner or family planning clinic doctor consulted.
