Philip Hammond is the Conservative MP for Runnymede & Weybridge.

Abortion
In May 2008 in the abortion amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (now Act), Philip Hammond voted for the abortion time limit to be lowered to 20 weeks[1]. After four separate parliamentary votes on varying time limits, the majority of MPs voted to keep the abortion time limit at 24 weeks.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee report of October 2007[2] had found no good evidence of change since the limit was set in 1990, and hence no new reason for a reduction. However, it acknowledged that this was only one of many factors to be taken into account when legislating, and did not make any recommendations as to how MPs should vote.
Homeopathy
Philip Hammond signed the March 2007 Early Day Motion 1240 calling for the positive recognition of NHS homeopathic hospitals[3].
