GENDER SELECTION ABORTION

Early day motion 978, tabled 22 January 2014 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes the issue of gender selection abortions, particularly in countries where there has traditionally been a male culture; and calls on the Government to ensure that, given the numbers of people in the UK who are either from those countries or have family ties there, that the practice is totally unacceptable, and every step will be taken to ensure that it is not carried out in the UK.

Signatures by party: DUP 7, Conservative 2, Independent 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Labour 1.
