To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have reviewed the updated National Police Chiefs Council guidance on pregnancy loss post 14 weeks and what assessment they have made of the implications of these changes on women experiencing miscarriages.
Lord Hanson of Flint
The Minister of State, Home Department
Guidance to support operational policing in discharging their duties on this issue is a matter for the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
We expect any guidance and police investigations which are conducted to recognise the specific sensitivities and emotional trauma of losing a child in any circumstances; as well as to show compassion and support for the woman and her family.
