Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Thornton on 19 January (WA 224–5), when the Newcastle Fertility Centre began providing information to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority on (a) the number of failed-to-fertilise eggs donated for use under licence R0152, and (b) the number used in the project.
Answer
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that in respect of failed-to-fertilise eggs used under research licence R1052, it has nothing further to add to the information given in my Written Answer of 19 January (WA 224-5). The HFEA has also advised that it does not hold records on its register that could be amended in this way.
