Regulation 32 Basic partner treatment services: licence committees

This regulation applies where a person who, before the initial commencement date, was not using gametes for the purpose of providing basic partner treatment services applies, before the main commencement date, for a licence under paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to the 1990 Act authorising the use of gametes for that purpose.

In a case to which this regulation applies, the Authority may provide for any of its functions relating to the granting of licences which are discharged by a licence committee in accordance with section 9(1) of the 1990 Act, to be discharged prior to the main commencement date by a member of the Authority.

Where, in accordance with paragraph (2), the Authority has provided for any of its functions in relation to the grant of licences to be discharged by a member of the Authority, any such function which has been properly discharged by any such member shall be treated as having been properly discharged by the Authority for the purposes of the 1990 Act.
