Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 May 2025

Debate

Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025

Contribution

I think two things are wrong with the point of view of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett. One is that although there is a difference in the precise characterisation of NGTs as compared to precision-bred organisms, the basis for the European Commission’s proposal is essentially that there should be a distinction between those that are GMO and transgenic and those that are indistinguishable from what could be achieved through traditional, conventional breeding techniques.
