I am delighted to follow the hon. Member for Blaydon (Mr. Anderson). His final remark was that we might be over-legislating, and that was about the only remark in his speech that I can agree with.
The presentation of the Bill in the House has more to do with the Government's not wanting to discuss the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill. As the hon. Member for Brent, East (Sarah Teather) said, ““It's all to do with Catholics in by-elections.”” The Bill has been rushed to the House today because the Government did not want to discuss the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.
