I am most grateful to both the hon. Lady and Will Quince for securing the debate.

A Dwyfor mother asked me to take the opportunity to express the depth of her feeling. She wrote:

“We don’t just suffer the loss of a baby, we lose a toddler, a child, a teenager, birthdays, Christmas days, mother/father’s days the list is endless as is the grief. The pain of losing a child never leaves you.”

She also wanted me to say that she believes that a third-trimester scan would have made a significant difference in her case.
