Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Debate between Baroness Manzoor and Viscount Ullswater

Wednesday 9th January 2019 Grand Committee

[Baroness Thornton]

Perhaps we could have some clarification from the Deputy Chairman of Committees.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

Perhaps I can help the Grand Committee. I should remind noble Lords that the Motion before them is to consider the regulations. I must emphasise the word “consider”, not to approve them. Whatever happens in the Grand Committee, the Government will need to table an approval Motion in the Chamber where any Member can properly register disagreement and table an amendment to debate the Motion.

[Baroness Manzoor]

I thank the Deputy Chairman for that clarification and I am pleased that his words bear out the point I have just made to the noble Lord.
