Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) 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, I thank the Minister for her reply. I am, of course, disappointed; I hoped that we could have resolved this issue more firmly today or on Third Reading. I reiterate that this amendment is about obtaining eggs for research from a cell from a woman and sperm from a male; it does not apply to same-sex couples. This leaves me in a quandary, but I shall wait to see what the Government intend to bring in. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 4 [Prohibitions in connection with genetic material not of human origin]:
