The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023, what progress her Department has made on the implementation of safe access zones around abortion clinics.

Answered by Jess Phillips

It is unacceptable that anyone should be subjected to harassment or intimidation for exercising their legal right to have access to abortion services. We will quickly review where these arrangements have got to and commence safe access zones around abortion clinics imminently.
