HC Deb 11 April 1984 vol 58 cc289-90W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to seek to amend the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929, in the light of resuscitative techniques now available that ensure the thriving of a high percentage of foetuses born after 24 weeks' gestation.

Mr. Mellor

I have been asked to reply.

At present we have no plans to do so.
