Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's timetable is for responding to the joint report of the Law Commissions of England and Wales and Scotland entitled Building families through surrogacy: a new law, published on 28 March 2023.

The Government does not intend to put forward the Law Commissions’ legislative proposals at this current time, due to the limited time available for introducing new legislation. However, we will publish a Government response as time and capacity allows, and will look to consider this issue in the future.
