2018 No. 1413
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 (Remedial) Order 2018
Made
Coming into force in accordance with article 1(1)
Section 54(1) and (2) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 20081 have been declared to be incompatible with a Convention right under section 4 of the Human Rights Act 19982.
The time for bringing an appeal has expired and no appeal was made within that time.
The Secretary of State considers that there are compelling reasons for proceeding by way of a remedial Order under section 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 to make such amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 as are necessary to remove that incompatibility.
In accordance with paragraph 2(a) of Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 19983, a draft of this instrument was laid before Parliament and was approved by resolution of each House of Parliament, a document containing a draft of this instrument having previously been laid before Parliament in accordance with paragraph 3(1) of that Schedule.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by section 10(2) of, and paragraph 1(1)(a), (c) and (d), (2) and (3) of Schedule 2 to, the Human Rights Act 1998.
