(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations specify additional purposes for which the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority may grant licences for research involving embryos under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.

The purposes are those of increasing knowledge about the development of embryos, or about serious disease, and enabling such knowledge to be applied.
