Proceeding contribution from William Cash (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]

Professor Jones of St. Mary's university college sums it up by saying that there is no doubt that if one overarching principle of contemporary medical ethics still trumps all others, it is personal autonomy. We have been denied the opportunity to debate the question of consent in the context of licensing, and it is deeply regrettable— It being Seven o'clock, Mr. Speaker, put the Question pursuant to Order [this day]. Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time:— The House divided: Ayes 355, Noes 129.
