HC Deb 22 April 1987 vol 114 c607W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has received any representations seeking to change rules relating to organ transplants in order to enable relatives of deceased persons to authorise their use.

Mrs. Currie

No representations have been received. The Human Tissue Act 1961 already provides for the relatives of deceased persons to consent to the removal of organs for medical purposes.
