§ Miss Richardsonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in the Official Report the names and addresses of pregnancy advisory bureau centres currently registered by his Department; which bureaux are registered charities; which bureaux refer their abortion patients to nursing homes that are registered charities; and which bureaux refer their abortion patients to commercial clinics.
§ Mr. John Stradling ThomasThere is only one pregnancy advice bureau currently registered by the Welsh Office—the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, Cardiff426W branch, 4 High Street Arcade Chambers, Cardiff. BPAS is a registered charity. While it is for individual bureaux to decide whether to refer patients to charitable or other approved nursing homes, I understand that the general policy of BPAS bureaux is to refer patients to BPAS nursing homes.
