My right hon. Friend rightly identifies the motivation of the parents involved. I hope to catch the eye of whoever is in the Chair in order to tell the story of a constituent who is in one of the six families who have been licensed for this procedure so far. May I assure her that in their case it is not a question of a traditional treatment or even of the cord blood bank, which is not suitable in this case, because the alternative is to watch a young child have a slow, lingering, dreadful and early death?
