Proceeding contribution from Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].


Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

My Lords, ““human admixed embryo”” refers to interspecies embryo as defined in the Bill. The confusion may have arisen with the addition of the ““animal admixed embryo””, which is not part of the Bill, but I would be more than happy to define that separately. The definition in the Bill of ““human admixed embryo””, which we are discussing today, is that of ““interspecies embryo””, as defined in Clause 4, at paragraphs (a) to (e) in new Section 4A(5). On Question, amendment agreed to.
