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 support this amendment—but then I would, wouldn’t I, because I raised this issue in Committee? I welcome the amendment because it addresses the main practical issue relating to the definitions of ““gametes”” and ““germ cells”” and removes the only cause for concern that the definition would adversely affect research. On Question, amendment agreed to.
