A Bill to provide for a review by the Secretary of State of the regulations governing gamete storage periods.
House of Lords
10 September 2019
This Bill would require the Secretary of State to carry out a formal review of the regulations that govern how long gametes can be stored. It does not itself change storage rules, but creates a process to assess whether current storage periods are appropriate. The outcome could inform future policy or regulation changes.
Currently at the 2nd Reading in the Lords, the bill is in the early stages of passage. If progressed, it would move to committee stage and then onward for consideration in the House of Commons.
