§ Mr. Dalyell
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the letter of 1 December 1998 (POH(6)5437/66) to the hon. Member for Linlithgow, what assessment he has made of Japanese research on organ preservation. [65409]

The Japanese research is at too early a stage for making any meaningful assessments of its applicability to human transplantation. We are maintaining a close watching brief on its progress.
