  <p pid="a.1063.3/1">I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p pid="a.1063.3/2">This is the first parliamentary hurdle for the controversial HFE Bill. It is designed to update the 1990 and 2000 Acts of the same name. There are three main contentious issues:
  
  1. Human-Animal Hybrid Embryo Research
  
  2. Allowing the creating of Saviour Siblings
  
  3. Removing the need for a father in IVF. Replacing it with 'responsible parenting'
  
  The bill also looks to clarify provision for receiving IVF, surrogate mothers and other types of fertility research. 
  
  Conservative and LibDem MPs were given a free vote, however the Labour party were whipped, and will only have a free vote at committee stage.
