Human Fertilisation and Embryology: Regulation

Earl Ferrers Excerpts

Wednesday 13th October 2010 Lords Chamber

[Earl Howe]

My Lords, again, I thank the noble Baroness for the work that she does with the HTA. The answer is yes in every case.

[Earl Ferrers]

My Lords, in his Answer, my noble friend referred to an arm’s-length body. What does that look like?

[Earl Howe]

My Lords, my noble friend will be pleased to learn that it is a sort of portmanteau term that can apply to a quango, a non-departmental public body, an advisory committee and bodies of that ilk.
