Mr. Andrew Munro:

The nub of the question the Deputy is getting at is reforming the policy in this area. There are elements of the law under different Departments, but the machine we have for resolving that is the Government. It acts collectively under Article 28. In the decision it took earlier this year when it put forward the proposal to establish the committee, it was very clear that all Departments concerned - the Department of Health, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and the Department of Justice - would listen to what the committee said and bring forward whatever necessary reforms were required, and that the Department of Health in its assisted human reproduction Bill would take account of the recommendations of the committee. We have a machine, imperfect and all as it may be, for bringing 18 Departments together to a collective view. That is the constitutional position and that is where we will go. The key thing is if the committee can identify the challenges and good solutions there, the Government will reflect on that and seek to implement the solutions that are identified.
