Clause 8
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Mark Simmonds (Shadow Minister, Health; Boston and Skegness, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. Perhaps I may refer him to clause 10, which relates to the power to delegate and establish committees. The purpose of that clause is to speed up the licence process. He is right to highlight the concern of many clinics about the time it takes for the HFEA to make its decisions.
