Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (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]

I am very grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin of Roding, for his interpretation of and personal feelings about this. I suspect that he will have seen the interview with Mr Phil Willis, the Chairman of the Joint Committee, and heard the quotation about autism which I cited from it. I am certain that that does not reflect his view, but he will see how, given that interview and its publication, there could certainly be concerns that ““serious”” can be interpreted very differently from the example that he has just given.
