We move on to reason 11. This relates to when the unborn child has a significant foetal abnormality that is not likely to result in death before or shortly after birth. We have two proposals, one of which counters the other. We will dispose of motion 22 first. The question is: "That the committee recommends that the termination of pregnancy should be lawful without gestational limits in cases of significant foetal abnormality." The motion is in the names of Deputy Smith and Senator Ruane.
