Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords].


Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend, whose repetition of the point makes it ever better and more compelling. It is important that the Minister deals with the issue. The response in the other place was, ““Well, we have a foolproof guarantee; we will ensure that we cover new forms through regulation and powers.”” However, the reality is that we have a gap, and for the sake of reassurance and ensuring that we have a comprehensive definition, the amendment should be accepted.
