Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 3 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].


Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

Before the noble Baroness leaves that important point, does she accept that there may be grounds for thinking that there are better ways of securing the modernisation of this legislation, year-by-year, than entrusting it to the Secretary of State—albeit with an affirmative order-making power, which would involve parliamentary process? Does she understand that for some of us this is not an entirely appropriate process?
