§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of the potential reduction in the need for and incidence of therapeutic pregnancy terminations, he will consider giving his support and approval to the setting up within the United Kingdom of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service's centres for post-coital contraception.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeIt is not necessary for me to approve the provision of post-coital contraception which, properly and responsibly used, can be a useful measure. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service sought the advice of the Department on the matter some time ago, and I understand a service is now established in a number of its pregnancy advice bureaux.
