HC Deb 16 December 1985 vol 89 c80W
Mrs. Ann Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has received any recent representations concerning the Family Planning Association; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

Copies of an anonymous letter about staff and management matters at the Family Planning Association have been received. I understand that the association's solicitors have issued a statement contending that the letter contains libellous allegations about senior staff of the association.

Mrs. Ann Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether any Government funds are made available through the Health Education Council for the Family Planning Association.

Mr. Hayhoe

The Health Education Council funds the family planning information service, which is operated jointly by the council and the Family Planning Association. Funding in the current financial year is £290,000.
