Embryology

Written question asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) on Tuesday, 15 June 2010, in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Tuesday, 15 June 2010.

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many human embryos or cybrid embryos have been used under each research licence granted by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for the specific purpose of deriving embryonic stem cells; and over what time those embryos were used under each licence.

Answer

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has advised that it holds information on the granting of research licences as set out under the headings listed in paragraph 3A(2) of Schedule 2 to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, but this does not include the number of embryos used for the specific purpose of deriving embryonic stem cells.
