HC Deb 27 July 1984 vol 64 cc844-5W
Mr. Watts

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received in support of making Government funds available for Life pregnancy care.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We have received over 50 representations this year, including a petition which was handed in to our Department on 14 May.

Mr. Watts

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider a transfer of some of the existing funding provided for National Health Service abortions to fund the counselling and care services provided by Life.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

It is for individual health authorities to decide the allocation of funds in this area in the light of local needs and circumstances.
