I understood that the Minister was going to answer the question that I asked at this point. Will the Minister answer the question I asked, which relates to a different amendment? If he does not mind, will he give us his rationale for not accepting amendment No. 10, which is for discussion at this stage? I realise it is difficult because there are many amendments. I just want to be able to think as I go along. This is the amendment that would insert that "The surrogate mother only should be allowed decide on any reduction of embryos and must not be obliged by the commissioning adults or their agents to undergo an abortion", just for the avoidance of doubt. Would the Minister address his rationale for opposing that amendment please?
