Dr Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
I would have thought that this sort of use would require the permission of a research ethics committee, and what the hon. Gentleman is doing in amendment No. 99 is saying that ''Standards . . . may include provision'', and those in turn may require the approval of a research ethics committee. If use of this sort of material requires the permission of a research ethics committee—perhaps he would consider circumstances where it would not, and where consent would not be sought, because it was not research envisaged at the outset of the treatment—is that really necessary, and might it actually put in statute a rather weaker provision?
