Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]
It is important that we put on the record what Baroness Deech, who after all has some knowledge of such things, said in the other place. She said:"““In the last year of statistics, over 2,000 women who were single or lesbian accessed IVF treatment””.—[Official Report, House of Lords, 21 January 2008; Vol. 698, c. 60.]" So, what people have said about access being available is correct. However, I support my hon. Friend as there is postcode discrimination in the country. That is why I support the Bill as it stands.
