I wish to present a petition signed by 300 people who attended the LIFE national conference at Leamington Spa—[Interruption.]

Order. Would hon. Members not remaining for the petition and the Adjournment debate please leave the Chamber quietly?

They wish to express their concern at the licensing of the drug RU486, which, far from being a simple advance for women's liberation, is still an experimental drug with known and unknown risks to women. The signatories

deplore the fact that this drug causes the death of unborn human beings, and … express … grave concern that it will damage women physically and psychologically.

Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable 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 … RU486 and any other drugs which, like it, are produced with the deliberate intention of destroying innocent human life.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.
