What they’ve said
“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to permit stillbirths to be registered remotely in England and Wales; and for connected purposes. I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce the Bill to the House today. It is a modest proposal. It is not about changing the legal definition of stillbirth.”
