Lord Patel
What plans do the Government have to support the education of girls in this country for them better to understand the value of family planning?
Baroness Northover
The United Kingdom is committed to the support of family planning in the UK. There should be, and is, comprehensive access to contraceptive services and supplies across the UK. The noble Lord, Lord Patel, is quite right that education and information is important here as well as in developing countries.
