Part 6: Miscellaneous Human Fertilisation and Embryology Schedule 17: Storage of gametes and embryos Date of first storage
Paragraph 11 applies to rare cases, where the gametes or embryos are stored under a pre-commencement licence and where, at the end of the transitional period, the storage facility has taken all "reasonable steps" to establish the date on which the material first went into storage but was unable to establish that exact date. In these instances, the storage facility can provide the gamete or embryo provider(s) with a new date from which the statutory storage period will continue to be calculated from.
