Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 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]

Before the noble Lord finally sits down, may I ask him two questions relating to this important issue, which could shake the confidence of people in the confidentiality of IVF clinics, which would be a serious outcome? First, would the data received for research purposes be sine die—able to be held on the database for the foreseeable future? Secondly, how far, when data are collected for a specific research purpose, will that data be held for other as yet unknown research purposes? In other words, what are the limits on the way in which the data can be used?
