Thangam Debbonaire – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Thangam Debbonaire on 2015-09-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what her policy is on the purchasing of abortion medication on the internet; and what recent representations she has received on this subject.

Mr Ben Wallace

Any proposal to reform the law on abortion in Northern Ireland is a matter for the Northern Ireland Assembly. It is also for the Northern Ireland Executive to determine what support women receive to travel to Great Britain to have an abortion. Ministers in the Northern Ireland Office have received no recent representations on the purchasing of abortion medication on the internet.
