Proceeding contribution from Mark Simmonds (Conservative) 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]
That is why I have tabled my amendments, which not only maintain the need for a father but extend that requirement to include male role models. As I have just said, that would mean that the current practice in clinics continues, while ensuring that the proposal on supportive parenting is included. The amendments would thus try to address the current disparity and difference of approach adopted by parenting units.
