While Earl Howe said that cleft lip and palate can be a marker for other congenital anomalies, such as serious heart defects, he questioned whether too much emphasis in decision-making on abortion was attributed to physical handicap.
On the other hand, Viscount Craigavon, who was the fiercest critic of Lord Alton's moves for a review of the law, said that cleft palate and lip is not a simple syndrome, some of the more serious cases are not amenable to surgical repair.
The Junior Health Minister, Lord Warner said that the government would not consider reviewing the provisions of the Abortion Act until the decision was reached on the judicial review.
