Abortion: Private Sector

Mr. Amess
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what (a) primary and (b) delegated legislation regulates advertising by private abortion clinics; what changes have been made to each since enactment; whether further revision is planned; and if he will make a statement.

Dawn Primarolo
There is no legislation on advertising by private abortion clinics specifically. However advertisements must comply with the law in general as well as the advertising codes.
