This consultation contains four sets of regulations required to implement the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008

Three of the sets of regulations are required to add further detail to the provisions in the 2008 Act. These are:

  • the procedure for revocation, variation or refusal of licences regulations
  • the procedure for appeals against licensing decisions regulations, and
  • the procedure for disclosure of information for research purposes regulations.

The fourth set of regulations updates the regulations made under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, that relate to the extension of the statutory storage periods for gametes and embryos. 

We welcome your views on these proposals.

Consultation closing date: 30 March 2009
