Tonia Antoniazzi
Thank you, Sir Charles. I thank the petitioner and the people who signed the petition for their interest in the need to address the Bill of Rights and abortion. In the context of the Bill of Rights, I thank the Minister for his comments. I thank all Members who participated in the debate. We have a long way to go and I believe that we can continue to have the debate and engage with more Members across the House.
When it comes to such debates as assisted dying, sex and gender, and abortion, where such differing views are held and shared, it is our responsibility as legislators to discuss them and to move forward for the benefit of everyone who lives in the United Kingdom.
Sir Charles Walker (in the Chair)
Thank you for that concise bit of winding up.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House has considered e-petition 619334, relating to legal rights to access abortion.
