Clause 2 - ''Appropriate consent'': children
Human Tissue Bill
10:15 am
Dr Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
That is a useful explanation of the Minister's understanding—that where the knowledge exists, people will have the ability to withdraw their consent. The key question asked by many who feel strongly about the issue is whether they would ever know without being able to contact and get an answer from the person who gave consent on their behalf. Again, I accept that that question is not necessarily directly dealt with by the amendments, but it is something that we may wish to think about, to ascertain whether the position is satisfactory. In the light of the Minister's assurance, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn
