Proceeding contribution from Lord Morris of Aberavon (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, can I press my noble friend and ask that before the next stage we have a statement asserting not only that this matter is incompatible with the Human Rights Act but that spells out why in detail and refers to previous appropriate litigation in Strasbourg on this very issue. Otherwise, a general blanket provision such as this could stop all sorts of things if she relied on the brief words in the article of the Convention.
