Clause 44 - Preservation for transplantation
Human Tissue Bill
10:30 am
Ms Rosie Winterton (Minister of State, Department of Health; Doncaster Central, Labour)
No, a defence would be that the procedure is allowed under statute. It would not be a presumption; it would be what the law says. Having said that, I hope that members of the Committee will agree that the clause is important to ensure that we can assist in obtaining more organs for donation.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 44 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
