Another Labour MP, Stella Creasy, said disabled organisations should have veto power over any recommendations made by the review.

Stella Creasy asked why MPs would want to retain outdated laws "in any shape or form, rather than learning from what is best practice around the world for all of our constituents".

Antoniazzi's amendment will be voted on first - if it is approved, a vote will not take place on Creasy's alternative proposal.

Labour MPs Tonia Antoniazzi and Stella Creasy have tabled rival amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill, both aimed at ending police investigations into abortion under a 164-year-old Victorian law.

Stella Creasy, the MP for Walthamstow, wants to go further, enshrining abortion access as a human right and offering "protection to all those involved in ensuring that women can access safe and legal abortions".
