human remains. [145590]
Estelle Morris: The Government have recently published the Human Tissue Bill, which includes a clause giving certain national
museums a power to move human remains out of their collection, where they wish to do so.
This will implement the principal recommendation of the Working Group on Human remains. I shall be issuing a consultation document
on the rest of the recommendations of the Working Group early in the new year. The results of that consultation will inform the
Government's wider response to the Working Group Report.
