Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

The noble Lord, Lord Willis, makes the point extremely well and much more eloquently than I was able to. It underlines the point that I have been trying to make. Taking the powers to break up the HFEA and the HTA, as it were, is not the way to start that process. The noble Lord makes exactly the right point. The Minister should recognise that there is a great deal of good will to make this happen across the House but not starting here. I beg to move.
