Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (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]

What research has been carried out by the Minister's Department or anyone else into the likely effect on children of being brought into the world in what some of us would regard as an unnatural relationship? In the ““Dog and Partridge”” in Yateley or ““The Thatched Cottage”” in Cove, a natural relationship is considered to comprise a mother and father. What evidence does the Minister have that children brought up in the unnatural environment in question will prosper or suffer as a consequence?
