(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the composition of licence committees of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the procedure to be adopted by those committees.

The Regulations also prescribe the procedure to be adopted by the Authority when hearing an appeal against a determination of a licence committee.

The Authority may regulate its own procedure in so far as it is not provided for in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 or in these Regulations. Licence committees must discharge the functions given to them in accordance with any general directions of the Authority.
