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]
Let me make some progress. The Joint Committee on the Human Tissue and Embryos (Draft) Bill concluded that there was"““little evidence that the existing provisions have caused harm””—" a point that I made—and it said that it may be"““detrimental to remove…the 'need for a father'.””"
