Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Thornton on 1 December (HL18), whether the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority would consider that a researcher had taken reasonable steps to contact the person who originally provided cells if the researcher had no access to the necessary contact information.
Answer
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has advised that this would be judged on a case by case basis, as indicated in my Answer of 1 December (WA 20).
