Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

If we assume that the Minister is right, it must be perfectly reasonable to agree with my hon. Friend as well. All he is doing is ensuring that those who fear that the Minister may not be right can be reassured by his amendment. If the Minister is right, she must be able to accept his amendment, because she has suggested that its content is already in her Bill. It seems to me that this is an opportunity for Members on both sides of the House to agree. If, on the other hand, the Minister does not really want this provision, she is trying to avoid the strength of my hon. Friend's amendment by suggesting that everything is all right anyway.
