I will go back to what section 33(2)(b) states:

[T]he Minister shall, 12 weeks from the date on which the notice is sent, release to the donor-conceived child the information requested, unless the relevant donor makes representations to the Minister setting out why the safety or well-being of the relevant donor or the donor-conceived child, or both, requires that the information not be released.

The committee should remember the point I made to the effect that the donor will have already signed consents on parentage at the early stage of the process when they made the donation and agreed that they were absolutely clear about the fact that the rights were being transferred to the parents involved in the procedure.
