§ Lord Braine of Wheatleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, and if so what representations they have received from (a) the United States Department of State; (b) the United States Embassy in London; and (c) the United States representatives to the United Nations about abortion and population policy; and whether they will place in the Library of the House a list showing the dates such representations were made together with any response given by Her Majesty's Government.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyWe have received no formal representations from the United States authorities. During preparations for the International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo in September last year, we discussed a wide range of issues, including abortion and population policies, with the United States Department of State, the United States Embassy in London, and members of the United States delegation to the conference.
