HC Deb 26 July 1988 vol 138 c209W
Mrs Ann Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what information he has concerning the number of abortions performed in England and Wales in the latest year for which figures are available which were performed on pregnancies arising out of the use of in vitro fertilisation techniques; and what were the grounds for those abortions.

Mrs. Currie

Information on the method of fertilisation is not required to be collected on the abortion notification form, and it is therefore not possible to provide the data requested.
