Safe access buffer zones will be in force around abortion clinics from 31 October, the Home Office has confirmed.

The zones will make it illegal for anyone to ‘intentionally or recklessly’ influence someone’s decision to use abortion services or causes distress to someone using or working at these premises.

Anyone found guilty of breaking the law will face an unlimited fine.

Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips said: ‘We will not sit back and tolerate harassment, abuse and intimidation as people exercise their legal right to healthcare, which is why we have fast-tracked this measure to get it up and running without further delay.’
