Proceeding contribution from Lord Harries of Pentregarth (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]
I wonder whether it would be helpful in due course for the Minister to write to everyone who has taken part in order to clarify this issue. My understanding as a member of the HFEA is that if any of the stem cell lines eventually came to be used for therapeutic purposes, that would fall outside the remit of the HFEA. Would the responsibility fall to the medicines and healthcare agency, or to another body? I think that that needs to be clarified.
