Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

I have been through the mill of medical training, and I am sure that it is not like this now, but in my day many consultants and professors thought that the training and education that they gave us were absolutely wonderful and beyond reproach, when actually the students and the junior doctors did not share their view and would have liked much better training. I plead with noble Lords to retain a bit of humility and to look at this in the spirit in which it was intended—to broaden and deepen the training that people can acquire in these techniques. Having had the assurance from the Minister that the Bill team and the department will look at the amendment, I beg leave to withdraw it at this stage. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 28 not moved.]
