Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful to noble Lords for their broad support. We would be delighted to place a copy of my noble friend’s letter in the Library of the House. With regard to parts of an organ, the Bill has been drafted in this way to allow the use of cells of the umbilical cord or, for example, if it were possible in the future to treat conditions with cells cultured from a small biopsy from the liver or any other organ. The noble Lord, Lord Walton, has clearly explained other potential uses of regenerative tissue. On Question, amendment agreed to. [Amendment No. 32 not moved.] [Amendment No. 33 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]
