The Lords amendments include those who experience miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, IVF embryo transfer loss and terminations for medical reasons. It follows the recommendations from the Women and Equalities Committee inquiry. This measure is groundbreaking. The UK will be one of only four countries in the entire world that recognises miscarriage as the bereavement that it is, and I congratulate the Government on taking this measure forward, because it impacts so many people. It impacts the families who are grieving and it impacts so many pregnancies. Miscarriage is part of the pregnancy journey.
