Video: There are medical arguments for a 'modest' cut in legal abortion limit, says David Cameron However, speaking on a visit to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, the Prime Minister distanced himself from the new Health Secretary's comments and was at pains to point out that the Government has no plans to seek a change in the law. He also stressed that any future Parliamentary vote on the matter would not be subject to party politics. If the House of Commons does vote on this, and it does from time to time, it is an entirely free vote - members of parliament vote according to their conscience. Mr Cameron said. I have personally voted for a modest reduction from the current limit of 24 weeks because I think there are some medical arguments for that but I don't agree with a 12-week limit and that is not the Government's policy.
