Mr. David Burrowes (Enfield, Southgate) (Con): When the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill comes to this House, will the Leader of the House ensure that there is a Committee of the whole House to consider significant issues relating to respect for human life? Will she follow the precedent of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990? On 23 and 24 April that year, the whole House considered embryo research and abortion.

Ms Harman: I will consider the hon. Gentleman’s points about how we should handle the Bill at Committee stage. We will make an announcement in due course, following consultations across the House.
