§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, following recent comment from the Department of Virology at Queen's University, Belfast, if he will set in process an exercise to counter apathy by requesting all women of child bearing age to accept rubella vaccination when there is no fear of pregnancy.
§ Sir George YoungI regret that I am not able to identify the comment to which the hon. Member is referring but if he will provide further details, the matter will be further considered. If that comment relates to the situation in Northern Ireland, the matter would be appropriate to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
