HL Deb 05 June 1995 vol 564 cc84-5WA
Lord Braine of Wheatley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the brain suction abortion procedure, practised in certain other countries, is in use in the United Kingdom or whether there are any plans for its introduction.

Baroness Cumberlege

We are not aware of this procedure being used in the United Kingdom. The method of termination is a matter for clinicians to decide in consultation with the patient.
