Have more children, says Christian MP

People should have more children, and the Government should offer more support to make it possible, an evangelical MP says.

Danny Kruger, who represents East Wiltshire for Reform UK, has told The House magazine that he wants a more "pro-social framework".

“Marriage traditionally was the means by which sexual relations between men and women were regulated, and I think we are suffering from having a totally unregulated sexual economy,” he said.

“I’m not interested in your love life, or anything about your personal life – that is your business. But I am interested in the framework in which you make your decisions, and I’d like the framework to be more pro-social. If you want – most people do want – to settle down with one person to have children, we should make that easier.”

He added that Reform UK has "a pronatalist ambition. We want people to have more children, and we think the government should get behind that wish.”

Assisted suicide and abortion

Elsewhere in the interview, Kruger predicted that the current Assisted Dying Bill would fail, stating: "My expectation is that they’re [the House of Lords] going to run out of time... While I oppose the bill, and I will oppose any assisted dying bill because I don’t think it’s possible to craft a safe one, you could craft a much safer one than this.”

And commenting on the recent decriminalisation of abortion at any point during pregnancy, Kruger said: "I thought it was a real shame that we did that – as a country, as a Parliament. Again, totally understand the argument for it, but it has sent a very, very strong signal that it is acceptable to abort a viable baby at nine months... The fact it happened the same week as the assisted dying bill just struck me as a very, very dark episode in our national life.”

In June 2025, UK MPs voted to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales by amending the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, stopping the prosecution of women who end their own pregnancies at any stage. The vote removes the threat of criminal investigation for women, though the 24-week limit and regulations for medical professionals remain in place.
