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]
My noble friend Lord Alton must be surprised to hear that on this occasion I agree with him, because he is right in saying that ““characteristic”” is too broad. The noble Baroness, Lady Tonge, can be reassured that a mutant gene that might predispose to the development of Alzheimer’s or any other disease could readily be called an abnormality. In that case, it is perfectly appropriate to leave the wording of the Bill as it is.
