I hope that Mrs Smith and Dr Simpson will therefore withdraw amendment 183.Amendment 324 carries through the Executive's commitment, made during the stage 1 debate, to make an exception to the direct benefit rule. We have carefully considered the comments that were made directly to us and in written evidence to the committee, and have been persuaded of the necessity of making an exception to the direct benefit rule.Without this amendment, some research for the benefit of other and future sufferers will not be lawful.
