§ Mr. GristThe information requested is not available centrally. However, some information on these matters is published in the annual report of the Interim Licensing Authority, a copy of which is available in the Library. The Interim Licensing Authority was established by the Medical Research Council and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1985.
It is expected that in future some of the data requested will be available from the IVF register, which has been set up by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys with funding from the Department.
