[2nd Allocated Day]

Proceeding contribution from Anne Milton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health and Social Care (Re-committed) Bill.

I will not, I am afraid. I must make progress. The amendment would not, incidentally, require local authority commissioners of abortion services to comply with NICE recommendations. This does not, of course, mean that NICE has nothing to contribute. Hon. Members may know that it is currently considering a draft library of NHS quality standards, which includes a proposed topic on abortion services. We may have an opportunity to air the issue further at that point. I hope that hon. Members are reassured by our proposals and by my personal involvement in the issue.
