Frank Field has been the MP for Birkenhead since 1979.[1] He is also a member of the advisory council for the Centre for Social Justice.[2]

Anti-abortion campaign

In 2001 Field campaigned with Conservative MP Nadine Dorries and anti-abortion lobbyists to create a counselling service that they hoped would cut UK abortions by 60,000 a year. These views were condemned by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) and Marie Stopes who argued that 'another layer of counselling could cause distress by delaying access to abortions'.[3]
