Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) 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]

I shall certainly clarify the position in writing. I have been informed that should we wish to use embryos specifically for therapeutic research purposes, we would need further primary legislation. I note that the noble Baroness, Lady Jay, said that such legislation might be retrospective. I will consider this matter further and write, if I may, to noble Lords before Report.
