HC Deb 11 March 2003 vol 401 c195W
Mrs. Iris Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what changes are proposed to the Tissue Act 1961; and whether the Act is planned to be repealed. [102019]

Mr. Browne

The Department of Health, in conjunction with the Welsh Assembly Government, is currently working on a draft Human Organs and Tissue Bill to replace the Human Tissue Act 1961 in England and Wales. We are following developments closely to determine the best legislative solution for replacing the Human Tissue Act (NI) 1962.
