<p>I have regular discussions with the Scottish Government’s Deputy First Minister
on all aspects of our implementation of the Smith Commission Agreement, including
the devolution of responsibility for abortion law to the Scottish Parliament. UK and
Scottish Government officials will continue to work closely on this issue.</p><p>
</p><p>I have had discussions with representatives of women’s organisations on this

is primarily for the Scottish Government to take forward engagement with interested
parties. Scottish Government Ministers have met with representatives of a number of
stakeholder organisations to discuss the devolution of abortion law and the delivery
of abortion services in Scotland.</p><p> </p>
