HC Deb 14 February 1995 vol 254 cc640-1W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on progress in meeting "The Health of the Nation" targets for teenage pregnancies.

Mr. Sackville

The year 1991 saw the first fall in 10 years in the under–16 conception rate. Provisional figures for 1992 are broadly in line with 1991. Concerted effort is necessary if a downward trend is to be maintained.
