Domestic Abuse Bill

Proceeding contribution from Victoria Atkins (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 July 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Domestic Abuse Bill.

My right hon. Friend knows that in recent days a range of views have been expressed, including by two Royal Colleges, on new clause 28 and what it seeks to achieve. Indeed, there are difficulties with the new clause. The Government therefore consider that the right way forward is to undertake a public consultation on whether to make permanent the current covid-19 measure allowing for home use of early medical abortion pills up to 10 weeks’ gestation for all eligible women. Does that reassure her?
