Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]

I want to know what, in years to come, Members of the House are supposed to say to children who look at us and say, ““Why have you denied me the opportunity to have a relationship with my natural father or mother?”” That should be the birthright of every child in this country. It is a deeply sad moment when the House denies that possibility to children who may wish to have that opportunity in years to come. I am deeply saddened that we have not had a proper debate, and that there has not been a chance for every Member to go through one or other Division Lobby, on the issue.
