Clause 2 - ''Appropriate consent'': children
Human Tissue Bill
9:10 am
Dr Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
There may be a mechanism that makes the approach that the hon. Gentleman has suggested much more suitable, and if the amendments were accepted, I hope that they would deal with that concern. However, there is still a more general issue that needs to addressed. I am still not sure whether I will support the amendment. I await the Minister's response on whether the definition, which ought to be a matter of consultation, is too narrow, and on whether there is a need to specify individual organs rather than, for example, the amount of tissue that will be retained, which might be more easily understood by the family concerned.
