I move amendment No. 30:

In page 8, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:
“CHAPTER 1

Medical treatment lawful under this Act

Inevitable miscarriage

7.It shall be lawful to carry out a medical procedure in respect of a pregnant woman in the course of which, or as a result of which, a pregnancy is ended, where--(a) the medical procedure is carried out by an obstetrician at an appropriate institution, and

(b) subject to section 19, a medical practitioner, having examined the pregnant woman, has certified that an inevitable miscarriage is taking place.”.
