Phil Willis MP who was Chair of the Joint Committee on the Draft Human Tissue and Embryos Bill has given an interesting presentation on the way that that bill made its way into Law. It gives a useful insight into the legislative process. His slides are available athttp://www.open.ac.uk/documents/1/rc090604541921155.ppt
and the audio is available at http://www.genomicsnetwork.ac.uk/media/HFEA-Phil%20Willis.wma
