Proceeding contribution from Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].


Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill do now pass. I just want to say a few words of thanks to all noble Lords. This has been an amazing experience for me, I can tell you. I thank you all for your patience, your support, the scientific support, the legal support, the ethical support and the moral support. I have never been through an experience like this before and it has certainly been a pleasure. I also make a specific point of thanking my noble friend Lady Royall, who has been absolutely brilliant in taking me through this interesting journey. I never thought that I would take a Bill like this through but, more importantly, resuscitate a colleague through it. I am obviously delighted to see that the noble Lord, Lord Brennan, is doing very well. Thank you all for the privilege of this experience. Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Lord Darzi of Denham.) On Question, Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
