Part 6: Miscellaneous Human Fertilisation and Embryology Schedule 17: Storage of gametes and embryos Application of Part 1 to material already in storage
Paragraphs 9 and 10 stipulate that the new provisions will apply to pre-commencement licences if the gametes or embryos are still stored at commencement. The new requirement for 10-year renewal periods will apply to gametes and embryos that were stored pre-commencement.
	As set out in Paragraph 9(2) the new provision will not however apply to embryos already in storage on the commencement day (1 July 2022), which are stored for the purposes of research or training only, and not for treatment purposes. These embryos will continue to be stored lawfully until the end of their statutory storage period as set out in the 1990 Act.
