I beg to move amendment No. 50, in

clause 1, page 2, leave out lines 17 to 29 and insert

'a body or relevant material from a body if—

(a) the body or relevant material has been imported, or

(b) it is the body of, or relevant material from, a person who died before the day on which this section comes into force and at least one hundred years have elapsed since the date of the person's death.'.

I am pleased to move amendment No. 50, because it would simplify the Bill by saying in one short section

what is now said in three. Unless the Minister can tell me that we are missing anything out, I would like to press it strongly.
