Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill
The hon. Gentleman raised the interesting question of why the Government changed their mind on human-animal hybrid embryos. Was not it because a scientific consensus emerged among the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust and the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, in a unanimous report, supported by people who do not often agree with someone such as the hon. Member for Castle Point (Bob Spink), who supported the recommendation that the Bill should appear as drafted?
