  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted against adding an new paragraph to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill to change the time limit for the legal termination of pregnancy from 24 weeks to 20 weeks.[1]
  
  A preceding attempt to change the limit to 16 weeks had also failed.[2]
