§ Lord Maginnis of Drumglassasked Her Majesty's Government:
How much public funding has been allocated to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) in each of the past five years; and whether they intend to review the basis of that funding as a result of the BPAS's collaboration in sending pregnant women to foreign countries for abortions which would be illegal under British legislation. [HL4398]
§ Lord WarnerThe Department of Health has not provided any funding to British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) in the last five years. We do not collect data on the amount of money BPAS receives through its contracts with primary care trusts.
The Chief Medical Officer is currently investigating this matter and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
