Surrogacy
Asked by: Baroness Manzoor (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 9th April 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to ban people from going abroad to obtain paid surrogacy in poorer countries. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government has no plans to restrict international travel for surrogacy. We recognise that surrogacy is a complex and sensitive issue, but we do not support arrangements in which any party may be at risk of exploitation. We have issued guidance for those considering surrogacy overseas, clearly outlining the possible risks for individuals returning to the United Kingdom with a child born through an international arrangement. |

Asked by: Rosie Duffield (Independent - Canterbury) Thursday 27th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will meet representatives of women and children's rights groups to discuss proposals announced by the Law Commission on 29 March 2023 in relation to surrogacy. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Law Commission consulted widely as part of the preparation for their report. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Patient Safety, Women’s Health and Mental Health will be writing to the Chairs of the Law Commissions of England, Wales, and Scotland shortly, to follow up their meeting on 5 November 2024. A Government response to the commissions’ report will be published as time allows. As such, the Department is not planning to meet women and children’s rights groups to discuss the matter at this time. We welcome future meetings on the topic at the appropriate time. |
