Please respond to this.

'The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) is an independent service that provides impartial research, analysis, and expertise on complex science and social science issues. They share their findings with Parliament to inform policy debates and decisions. Last month POST announced a new consultation on surrogacy law reform. This follows a public consultation in 2019 from the Law Commission of England and Wales and the Scottish Law Commission, which in total has already cost £945,000.
Any individual can contribute but POST encourages submissions from researchers and experts. Whether you are in a research position, have personal experience of surrogacy or have a view on surrogacy you’d like to share, we encourage you to submit using the form and our suggested guidance. The deadline is* 23.55 on 5 October 2025.'*

Always best to use your own words, even if you use a template.

Thanks for that link. I'll definitely get involved.

Cheers, Prawn. This needs pushback - there's a lot of agitation and lobbying to relax the laws around surrogacy.

Reem Alsalem's recent writing on the harms of surrogacy is helpful and illuminating.

Evening bump.

I remember the last consultation in 2019 - what was the outcome and why do they need another one? I'm suspicious

I guess that was when they were.looking at legislation. This is for POST - the parliamentary information service.

Thanks I will get this completed as the issue seems to be under the radar atm.

Bump

Thanks for posting the link!
