Proceeding contribution from Ann Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 July 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.
Department of Health
The hon. Lady might remember that the initial legislation, the Abortion Act 1967, was introduced as a private Member’s Bill, but the Government of the day gave it time in order that it could be enacted. Does she accept that during the passage of that Bill and of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, huge pressure was put on people on both sides to come to a certain conclusion?
