Clause 24
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]
3:45 pm

The hon. Gentleman is right to make those points, and that is why it is important that the amendment can apply only to those whose parent is deceased. I think that that makes a significant difference, certainly with some of the “family secrets” that the hon. Gentleman seems to be mentioning. I think that they start to dissipate once the person involved has died.
