HC Deb 14 May 1998 vol 312 c206W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many women used the contraceptive pill in each year since 1993. [32089]

Ms Jowell

The information is not available in the format requested. The General Household Survey (GHS) conducted by the Office for National Statistics estimated that in 1993 and 1995, 25 per cent. of women aged 16 to 49 in Great Britain used the contraceptive pill. Information is not available for the other years requested because the GHS only asked the specific question on contraception in 1993 and 1995.
