Proceeding contribution from Lord Walton of Detchant (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 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]
Perhaps I may return to the point that I raised at the beginning, before the noble Lord, Lord Patel, spoke. It was my clear understanding when the House approved the new regulations in 2001 that the 1990 Act was being amended not to restrict it to approving treatment and research that was meant to improve the treatment of infertility and the prevention of genetic disease; the regulations amended the Act to make it possible to use embryonic material for the ultimate treatment of disease. I apologise if I am mistaken, but my clear understanding was that the regulations intended to allow the use of stem cells derived from embryonic material in human treatment.
