I understand what the Secretary of State says and very much support the Bill, but one small group—those who have a family by means of surrogacy—has been missed out, and I have taken up a constituency case with Ministers in the light of employment relations. The Bill covers only natural birth and adoption. Will he consider including that small group within the ambit of the rights?
