Proceeding contribution from Baroness Deech (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]

May I make a small correction? I am not sure what would be the procedure under the Human Tissue Act. I do not believe that it is right for the Human Tissue Authority to be giving that permission. It would be better if we had the old system, whereby a child was made a ward of court and the judges gave permission. I do not know how the Human Tissue Authority would approach that.
