HC Deb 07 April 1982 vol 21 cc395-6W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that women are able to obtain a therapeutic termination of a pregnancy under the National Health Service in all areas of the United Kingdom with equal facility and convenience.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The level of provision of abortion facilities is for health authorities to decide in the light of local needs and priorities and the availability of resources.
