§ Mr. RookerTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will bring forward proposals to help reduce unwanted pregnancies.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe Government have for some years been actively promoting initiatives to enable people to plan and space their families as they wish and avoid unwanted pregnancies. This activity has received renewed impetus with the publication of the "The Health of the Nation" White Paper which sets challenging targets, in particular to reduce unwanted conceptions amongst under 16s. I am today writing to the hon. Member with further details. A copy of this letter will be placed in the Library.
