Dear Mr Brown,

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill
I have a personal and professional interest in the above Bill.  And I
have two questions about it.

First, when will it be introduced into the House of Commons?  There
seems to be considerable uncertainty about this for I have already
heard several dates mentioned.

Second, I understand that this is a government Bill, but will Labour
MPs be given a free vote on all its aspects?  I sincerely hope so
because I cannot see how cloning, human admixed embryos, etc.,
can be regarded as party political matters.

Yours sincerely,

Dr John R. Ling.

Dear Mr Brown,

I refer to my letter (8 February 2008, copy attached) and your reply
via Mr R. Smith (21 February).

In my original letter, I specifically asked two straightforward questions.
Your reply answered neither of them.  Would you now be so kind as to
send me a more thoughtful response?

Yours sincerely,

Dr John R. Ling.
