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]

This amendment would not prevent that. The noble Lord and I disagree about whether human embryos should be used, but this amendment says let us take the Hunt test at its word. If the noble Lord were able to put the case he has just been putting to the regulatory authority, despite the dislike of the regulations he expressed at Second Reading, presumably under the Hunt test formula if no other way could be found to use it, he would be given permission to go ahead with that work.
