I doubt if anyone, including those involved in embryo research in this country, would like to see the development of human cloning here. However, we need legislation to ensure that this is prevented. It is more than three years since I introduced a Private Members' Bill on in vitro fertilisation and, while the Government has set up a distinguished body to investigate the issue, it is a pity we have not signed the Oviedo Convention and introduced legislation while awaiting that body's findings.
