Division 56 · 17 June 2020

Abortion (Northern Ireland) (No. 2) Regulations 2020

What this vote was about

This vote approved the Abortion (Northern Ireland) (No. 2) Regulations 2020. Following the decriminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland (required by legislation Parliament passed in 2019 while the Northern Ireland Assembly was suspended), these regulations set out the legal framework for how abortion services would actually be provided there, including the circumstances and time limits under which terminations could take place. Approving the motion confirmed that framework in law. MPs approved the regulations by 253 votes to 136.
