Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark)
My Lords, we will hear from the Cross Benches next and then from the Conservative Benches.
Baroness Deech (CB)
My Lords, I declare an interest as a former chair of the HFEA. Does the Minister agree with me that we really must get on with modernising the Act, as more and more gaps are revealed? In the meantime, does she agree with me that the HFEA should collect data by asking clinics to supply it? Then it would get firm evidence about what works and what does not. It could then publish the data, and make sure that patients are informed by their clinics, or by leaflets in the waiting room, to go on the clinic website and the HFEA website to get the accurate information.
