Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 June 2025

Debate

Complications from Abortions (Annual Report) Bill [HL]

Contribution

In moving that forward, I had to take a number of decisions at different junctures. In reaching those decisions, I wanted to make sure that I sought out the data and the evidence. It was critical that that was the most expert and accurate data. I met, for example, with amputee ward staff to see what the longer-term implications would be. That is just one example. That would never have crossed my mind until I was faced with the position. It is critical for any individual patient that they have the strongest and most reliable data, and that is what the Bill will achieve.
