Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) 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]

I shall be happy to do that, particularly about the final point the Minister made about cells. I was very precise in what I said about human cells. I think there has been a misinterpretation. I hope the Minister did not mean that cell lines will be excluded because that would mean that all cell lines, including cancer cell lines, would come under regulations. That cannot be the Government’s intention.
