It is the Government\u2019s intention to lay the remedial order, which will allow single people to apply for a parental order in a surrogacy arrangement, after the summer recess. The order will include a provision to allow for retrospective application for a parental order by single people.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government supports the inclusion of a review of surrogacy legislation in the Law Commission\u2019s 13th<\/sup> programme of law reform. The Department has not made any alternative plans for a review of surrogacy but would consider options carefully, if, for any reason, the Law Commission decides not to proceed.<\/p>"}
