Stillbirth And Miscarriage

EDM number 883 in 2016-17, proposed by Jim Shannon on 26/01/2017.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families and Death.

That this House notes the heart-breaking statistics that 17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in Great Britain and Northern Ireland; further notes the estimation that one in four pregnancies result in a miscarriage, leaving bereaved parents asking for recognition of the life that was; and calls on the Government to step into the breach with the production of a legal acknowledgement of these precious little lives in whatever format it would deem appropriate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
