§ 10.6 pm
§ Mr. James Wallace (Orkney and Shetland)I have the privilege of presenting a petition of approximately 100 of my constituents who are worried that a product licence has been given to the drug Mifegyne, known as RU486. This is one of several similar petitions which have been presented from many parts of the United Kingdom.
943 My constituents deplore the fact that the drug causes the death of unborn human beings. The petition prays that the House,
which is committed to upholding respect for human life and protection of the weak and vulnerable, will do everything possible to prevent the distribution and use of Mifegyne (known as RU486) and any other drugs which, like it, are produced with the deliberate intention of destroying innocent human life.
§ To lie upon the Table.
