Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent representations he has received on reforming the law on surrogacy.

A search of the Department’s central correspondence system shows that, since November 2015, the Department has received 31 representations that made direct or indirect reference to reforming the law on surrogacy. I have also answered four Parliamentary Questions in this session about this issue.

The Government has no current plans to change the legislation in respect of surrogacy arrangements.
