Clause 30 - Restriction on transplants involving a live donor
Human Tissue Bill

Dr Andrew Murrison (Westbury, Conservative)
Interestingly, the guidance notes that are provided for our edification on the more obscure parts of the Bill are completely silent about the clause. Clearly those responsible for drafting the guidance notes felt, as the hon. Member for Wyre Forest (Dr. Taylor) feels, that the clause is completely impenetrable. To that extent I support the thrust of his argument and his amendment. Will the Under-Secretary tell us what situations he can perceive that would bear on the circumstances quoted in the clause and, perhaps, explain why the clause is here in the first place? Might it not be more appropriate to ditch it altogether?
