Today was spend considering two bills related to medical issues. The first was the Alcohol Labelling Bill - to require a warning to be placed on bottles and containers containing alcohol for consumption - “GOVERNMENT WARNING: avoid alcohol if pregnant or trying to conceive.” The second bill was the Kidney Transplant Bill, which would authorise doctors to remove from dead patients over the age of 18 one kidney for transplant purposes. This could only be done if the kidney was suitable for transplantation and there was no evidence either from a central registry or from the patient's relatives that the deceased had opted out of donation.

The day had begun with the 1st Reading of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill, which had been brought up from the Commons. The first bill's 2nd Reading lasted from 10.06am to 11.14am, and the second's from11.14am to the adjournment of the House at 1.23pm
