Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the report by the Law Commission entitled Building Families Through Surrogacy: A New Law, published on 29 March 2023; and whether it is his policy to reform surrogacy laws.

The Government is considering the reforms about surrogacy contained in the Law Commission report, Building Families Through Surrogacy, and will publish a Government response in due course. Ministers wrote to the Law Commission on 8 November 2023 to confirm that we would not be bringing forward legislation in this parliament.
