Proceeding contribution from Brooks Newmark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 July 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

But does the hon. Gentleman not agree that the unborn life has an equal right to that of the mother, and that that must therefore be taken into consideration? However, it is important that we focus on the technology. Technology has improved in the past 16 years, which is why the House should consider reducing the age of termination from 24 weeks to 20 or 18 weeks. We should investigate this issue through technology and science.
