Mrs. Angela Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the regulations to be made under section 30 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 will be laid.

Mr. Sackville

We have today issued a consultation document which includes draft regulations to be known as the Parental Orders for Gamete Donors Regulations 1993. The period for public consultation will end on 2 July 1993. The Government intend to lay the draft regulations before Parliament as soon as possible after the results of the consultation exercise have been considered. Copies of the consultation document are available in the Library.
