EDM number 1190A1 in 1995-96, proposed by Harry Barnes on 24/07/1996.

leave out from `abortion' to end and add `when it became clear that the procedure is hardly ever used in the United Kingdom and that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Medical Association opposed Lord Braine's attempt to legally restrict the ability of the medical profession to use techniques considered clinically appropriate; notes that this information accurately conveyed to honourable Members and peers the timing of the withdrawl of the Bill and was not speculation as to Lord Braine's reason; and notes that information on foetal pain disseminated by the Birth Control Trust which explains that responses to noxious stimuli, in foetuses prior to 26 weeks gestation, cannot be interpreted as feeling or percieving pain is consistent with the views of Professor Maria Fitzgerald, Professor of Developmental Neurobiology at University College, London, as expressed in her paper, Foetal pain; an update of Scientific Knowledge, which was prepared last year for the Department of Health.'.
