Since I came into the Chamber, I have received a note to the effect that the European Parliament has voted by approximately 300 to 200 in favour of a much more liberal approach – it does not want a cut-off date of June 2002 or any cut-off date. The significance of the cut-off date is that one cannot create embryos for this purpose. There are huge issues involved and they will not be easy to resolve. I consider the Commission proposal rather conservative, but it is a step in the right direction, in that it gives guidelines and safeguards. I do not believe it falls into what might be described as the liberal category at all. Presumably, that is the reason the European Parliament did not consider it good enough.
