EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made under sections 19(6) and 45(3) and (3A) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (as amended by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008) and correct errors in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (Procedure for Revocation, Variation or Refusal of Licences) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/1397).

In particular, regulation 4 (which sets out the documents to accompany the notice of exercise of right) is amended to reflect the definition of the notice set out in regulation 2 (interpretation) and regulation 10 (power to summons witnesses and require production of documents) is omitted. Regulation 15(1) (which provides that the Authority may not compel the person concerned to be a witness) is omitted in consequence of the omission of regulation 10.
