Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answers by Earl Howe on 3 October (WA 105–6) and 12 December (WA 208–9), when the initial and revised copies of patient information and consent forms for research licence R0122 were submitted to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority; and in what way these documents inform patients regarding any use of their oocytes in that project.
Answer
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that a search of the authority's records has identified patient information and consent forms, relating to research project R0122, submitted to the HFEA during 2000 and 2002. These documents refer only to the use of embryos in research.
