question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is taking steps to ensure that gender-selective abortions are not carried out in UK.
tabling member constituency	Congleton
tabling member printed	Fiona Bruce
uin	6069
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2020 answer text <p>Sex selection is not one of the lawful grounds for termination of pregnancy. It is illegal for a practitioner to carry out an abortion for that reason alone, unless the certifying practitioners consider that an abortion was justified in relation to at least one of the grounds in the Abortion Act 1967 such as a sex-linked inherited medical condition.</p><p>We have no evidence that sex related abortions are taking place in Great Britain. The latest analysis by the Department found that the United Kingdom gender ratio over the period 2013 to 2017 was 105.4 male to 100 female births, which is within the normal boundary. The Department continues to keep this under review.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 28/01/2020 17:21:56 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage previous answer version 3026 answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
