I move amendment No. 50:

In page 27, to delete lines 20 to 40 and substitute the following: “(c) specify the action to be taken in relation to a relevant storage (G), relevant storage (E) or relevant storage (T) if an intending parent dies or subsequently lacks capacity to make a decision in that regard where—
(i) the gametes concerned are their gametes,

(ii) the embryos concerned were created from their gametes or the gamete from one of them,

(iii) the embryos concerned were created for use in the provision of AHR treatment to one of the intending parents (or, in the case of a single intending parent, that intending parent), or

(iv) the tissues concerned are their tissues,
(d) specify that each intending parent (or, in the case of a single intending parent, that intending parent) may, in relation to a relevant storage (G), relevant storage (E) or relevant storage (T), specify in his or her section 18 consent a shorter storage period than the period referred to in paragraph (b) of the definition of “relevant storage period (G)”, paragraph (b) of the definition of “relevant storage period (E)” or paragraph (b) of the definition of “relevant storage period (T)”, as appropriate, where—
(i) the gametes concerned are their gametes,

(ii) the embryos concerned were created from their gametes or the gametes from one of them,

(iii) the embryos concerned were created for use in the provision of AHR treatment to one of the intending parents (or, in the case of a single intending parent, that intending parent), or
