Catholic Church 1, Labour Whips 0
108 scientists and academics have written to The Times demanding an un-whipped free vote on the Frankenstein Bill. Unrelated, but obviously due to pressure, Geoff Hoon is now saying that Catholic MPs can follow their conscience and abstain on the Frankenstein Bill. He is not however saying they can vote against it. LibDems and Tories are being given a free vote.
