§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the same conditions of counselling and advice as apply to private pregnancy advice bureaux apply also to National Health Service facilities.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe requirements placed on registered pregnancy advice bureaux in relation to counselling are fully consistent with advice issued to health authorities. It is a condition of the registration of bureaux that they should have adequate counselling arrangements, and unannounced visits are made by the Department's medical and lay investigators to ensure observance of this and other conditions of registration.
