HC Deb 17 May 1985 vol 79 c255W
Mr. Frank Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish data on the number of abortions for each week over 19 weeks for each of the last five years; and if he will sub-divide the data according to whether the abortion was carried out in a private or a National Health Service hospital, and whether or not the foetus was deformed.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
