Health: Cousin Marriage

Answer

Yes, my Lords, we are. I bring to the House’s attention the review of Our Inheritance, Our Future. Published only last week, it refers to the consultation we have carried out since the White Paper was published with more than 50 different stakeholders, including scientists, professionals and patient groups, who overwhelmingly welcomed the progress and investment that have been made since publication. I will ensure that this document is made available to the House.
