Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (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]

The noble Lord said that there was concern outside and that that concern had been expressed to the Joint Committee by distinguished people. He said that he did not agree with it, but that that concern was often well articulated and represented a perfectly reasonable point of view. When we get to Report, I intend to test the opinion of your Lordships' House but, for today, I am willing not to press the amendments. I beg to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 6A not moved.]
