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]

Does my noble and right reverend friend believe that it is right, if the report in today’s Times is to be believed, that on 5 December—that is, later this week—the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority will consider whether to grant one of these licences? Does that pre-empt not only the points that have just been made so well by noble Lords, but also the debate on this Bill in your Lordships’ House?
