HC Deb 08 November 1995 vol 265 c923W
Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he will be taking with respect to the removal of(a) children of the Venables family and (b) other children whose parents did not wish to have them immunised by Dr. Goodall-Copestake of Presteigne, Powys, from his general practitioner's list; what discussion he has held with Powys family health services authority on this subject; if he will list similar cases where general practitioners have had children removed from their lists; and if he will make a statement. [42280]

Mr. Hague

I understand that Dr. Goodall-Copestake has withdrawn his request that the children be removed from his list. I have held no discussions with Powys FHSA on this issue nor am I aware of any similar case elsewhere.
