Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 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]

had given notice of her intention to move Amendment No. 57A: 57A: Clause 14, page 9, line 17, leave out ““or woman”” The noble Baroness said: I want to speak to this amendment only to thank the noble Lord, Lord Darzi, and the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, for the way they are prepared to accommodate. The real problem with Part 2 is one of definitions and if I heard correctly, I believe that the Minister said there could be consultations between now and the next stage of the Bill to try and iron out some of this. There is still enormous confusion, even after the debate we have had today, and this would firm up in our minds how to proceed. [Amendments Nos. 58 to 59A not moved.] Clause 14 agreed to. Schedule 4 [Schedule inserted in the 1990 Act as Schedule 3ZA]: [Amendment No. 59B not moved.] Schedule 4 agreed to. Clauses 15 to 22 agreed to. Clause 23 [Code of practice]: [Amendments Nos. 60 and 61 not moved.] Clause 23 agreed to. [Amendment No. 62 not moved.]
