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]

I should like to comment on the misfortune of the grouping which means that with this amendment we are not discussing Amendments Nos. 66 and 67, sadly, in the absence of the noble Lord, Lord Brennan, whom we all wish well. It seems to me that on Report we shall have an important debate about the setting up of an ethical framework. It is a great pity that we could not do that before—have the framework first and the debate afterwards. However, that is how the powers that be have ordained it.
