Lord Tebbit
has presented the Robin McNair Prize awards in the Houses of Parliament.
Contestants wrote essays on bioethical issues including abortion, cloning and
the rights of the disabled. The prize commemorates one of Britain's
leading fighter pilots in the second world war who also fought for the rights of the unborn through his membership of SPUC. The competition is jointly
sponsored by the SPUC Education and Research Trust and the McNair family.
