To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 7 February (WA 12–13), what the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) is doing withinformation collected from licensed centres that it is required to hold by law but is not easily searchable; and whether the ease of searching that information will alter following the abolition of the HFEA.
Answer
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that it is not aware of any information that meets this description. The HFEA has also advised that the planning of any transition will include securing the future of information that the authority holds on its register so that the requirements of the legislation continue to be met.
