With regard to the time period, for the sake of clarity, I will read from the report. It states:
64% of the Members recommended that the termination of pregnancy without restriction should be lawful. Of the Members who voted on that Ballot:- 48% have recommended that the termination of pregnancy without restriction should be lawful up to 12 months gestation age only.
- 44% have recommended that the termination of pregnancy without restriction should be lawful up to 22 weeks gestation age only.
- 8% have recommended that the termination of pregnancy should be lawful with no restriction to gestational age.
I apologise for interjecting but I wanted to clarify that.
