HC Deb 19 May 1994 vol 243 c556W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations she has had from the Research Defence Society about research involving the human foetus.

Mr. Sackville

None. Research involving the use of foetuses and foetal material is covered by the code of practice drawn up by the Polkinghorne committee and published in 1989 in its report entitled "Review of the Guidance on the Research Use of Fetuses and Fetal Material". Copies are available in the Library.
