Embryology Bill

Asked if it was still the Prime Minister’s intention that there should be a whip vote on the issue, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had answered a question on the subject in PMQ’s last week and he had nothing to add to that.

Put repeatedly that there was still some confusion about what the Prime Minister had meant and was it the case that Labour MP’s would be free to abstain from voting, the PMS said that the Chief Whip had been talking about this and had said something along those lines. As the Prime Minister had said last week, we were not at the point yet where this vote was due to happen imminently and the precise whipping arrangements would be a matter for the Whips nearer the time.
