Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the Government's policy is on the reform of surrogacy law being undertaken by the Law Commission in its 13th Programme of Law Reform.

The Government recognises the value of surrogacy as one of a number of options in helping people who can’t have children create a family.

Drafting work on the remedial order is ongoing. We currently estimate it will be laid in the autumn session of Parliament.

The Department of Health supports the proposal by the Law Commission of England and Wales to include a project about surrogacy in its work programme for 2017-20
