To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford on 19 March (HL14296), what was the outcome of their discussions with the Human Tissues Authority about concerns around bodies imported for display.

The Government has had discussions with the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) about concerns around bodies imported for public display. We are assured by the HTA that it seeks every assurance that the use of imported bodies for public display is compliant with the legal requirements of their country of origin.
