Human Tissue Bill

Dr Andrew Murrison (Westbury, Conservative)
I perceived that the Minister was about to conclude her remarks, so I thought that I should intervene briefly. Will she confirm that all she has in mind here is cold perfusion, not ventilation? Will she also say that she will rely on case law as a defence against a charge in the event that someone took exception to cold perfusion having been instituted? We understand that there is no statute law; that is fine. However, there must be case law for the assurance of those who will undertake the procedure. How many cases of cold perfusion have there been in, for example, the past 12 months or so?
