Proceeding contribution from Earl Ferrers (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

My Lords, before the noble Baroness sits down, could she answer the very telling question put by my noble friend Lord Waddington and the noble Lord, Lord Alton? There are 211 new lines in the Bill that have not been discussed by another place. It is groundbreaking stuff, which many of us do not understand and on which many in the House of Commons ought to be able to give a view. Would it not be good if, irrespective of its content, my noble friend’s amendment were accepted to give the other place the opportunity to discuss these matters?
