Proceeding contribution from William Cash (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]

I am listening to the hon. Gentleman's speech with interest. Can he explain why the part of the Bill entitled ““Parenthood in cases involving assisted reproduction”” contains an entire section on the meaning of ““father”” and on ““fatherhood conditions””? Is he suggesting, as I suspect that the Minister is, that those words should be replaced by the words ““supportive parenting””? That would not work, would it?
