HC Deb 30 July 1980 vol 989 c765W
Mr. Buchan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if his Department will undertake a study of the findings of the Social Services Committee on perinatal mortality as they relate to Scotland;

(2) if he will give an assurance that the measures taken to implement the recommendations of the Social Services Committee on perinatal and noenatal mortality will also apply to Scotland.

Mr. Fairgrieve

The report is not addressed explicitly to the position in Scotland, but my Department will certainly carry out a detailed study of its findings. Until the report has been studied in detail I cannot give any assurance about measures to implement its recommendations in Scotland.
