Catholic MPs can oppose embryo proposals: British gov't
0 Comments | AFP, March, 2008
LONDON (AFP) — Roman Catholic lawmakers in Britain will be allowed to vote against a disputed embryo research bill, a government minister said Sunday.
The move came as Britain's most senior Catholic clergyman called on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to grant lawmakers from his governing Labour party a free vote on the bill, which allows the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos for medical research.
Health Secretary Alan Johnson said Labour lawmakers with moral or ethical objections would be allowed to vote against parts of the proposed legislation when it comes before parliament this year.
"I believe that once we have discussed all these issues and seen all the safeguards in the bill, that there will not be a split," he said on Sky News television.
