Written Question
Surrogate Motherhood: Lone Parents
Tuesday 27th June 2017

Asked by: Paul Masterton (Conservative - East Renfrewshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the Answer of 8 March 2017 to Question 66737, what progress has been made on plans to give single parents with children born through surrogacy the same rights as couples.

Answered by Philip Dunne

Drafting work on the remedial order, which will allow single people to apply for a parental order in a surrogacy arrangement, is ongoing. We currently estimate that the remedial order will be laid when Parliament returns after the Summer recess period.
