uin	HL1434
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2022 answer text <p>The position on abortion is settled in UK law and it is rightfully decided by Parliament. It is an issue of conscience, and the Government has no current plans to introduce this issue into the Bill of Rights. We should be mindful of finding ourselves in the US position, where the issue is litigated through the courts, rather than settled as it is here by Parliament. Health Services across the UK are responsible for providing access to safe and legal abortion within the framework of the law.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 18/07/2022 15:19:37 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2021 answer text <p>Since the end of the Transition Period the UK is no longer part of Roam Like at Home so surcharge-free roaming for UK consumers in the EU is no longer guaranteed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>During negotiations for the Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the EU, the UK proposed continuation of reciprocal agreements between the UK and EU for surcharge free roaming, or a review clause to consider the need for these should roaming surcharges return for consumers. The EU did not agree to either of these proposals. Therefore, mobile operators are now able to impose a surcharge on UK consumers travelling abroad to the EU for their mobile phone usage. We advise that consumers check with their operators before travelling.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 02/07/2021 11:05:55 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
