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>

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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord O'Shaughnessy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL661"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-19T13:51:00.957Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Surrogacy: Lone Parents"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Nicola Blackwood MP on 8 March (HC66737) and by Philip Dunne MP on 27 June (HC510), whether a remedial order to allow single parents to apply for a parental order following surrogacy will be laid before Parliament after the summer recess; and if so, whether that order will operate retrospectively once approved.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2501", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Barker"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Barker"} ], "uin" : "HL660"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
