Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Maternity Safety Strategy.


Maternity Safety Strategy

My hon. Friend is absolutely right to say that. The evidence is very clear about the damage done to foetuses and babies if there is too much—or, indeed, any—drinking by a mother. I did not mention it in the statement because we are focusing on smoking cessation training, but he is right to mention the issue.
