Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 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 will clarify the position in response to the question put by the noble Baroness, Lady Warnock. The Government’s position on today’s amendment is absolutely firm. We think that the Bill should stand. I agreed to take back the amendment tabled the other day about whether there should be a symbol on a birth certificate for any child who was donor-conceived, whether they have same-sex or heterosexual parents. That, indeed, is what I am doing.
