HC Deb 09 November 1998 vol 319 c6W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the President of the Council what representations the Government have made to the People's Republic of China regarding that country's maternal and infant health care law in respect of compulsory premarital check-ups. [57882]

Clare Short

I have been asked to reply.

None. The health and development agencies of the United Nations—the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Population Fund and the United Nations Children's Fund—are working in China to secure respect for international standards of maternal and child health. The UK contributes to these programmes.
