Coincidence?

Many will wonder if it is a coincidence that the government is delaying the debate and vote on the controversial Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill in the run-up to the Glasgow East by-election? I guess the strong feelings in the constituency may have played on the minds of worried Ministers. Perhaps it will have the same effect as the sudden change in government policy over the 10p tax rate as we approached the Crewe and Nantwich by-election!
