answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>We are aware that organs removed from executed prisoners are used for human transplantation purposes in China. Chinese law requires that prisoners give prior consent for their organs to be used in this way.</p><p>In March 2012, the Chinese government announced plans to phase out the use of organs from executed prisoners for transplant and to create a national organ donation system. We continue to encourage China to make further progress in this respect, including by sharing best practice.</p><p>We most recently raised allegations of forced organ removal and the treatment of detainees in China at the UK China Human Rights Dialogue in May 2014. We also highlight our concerns publicly in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy (www.hrdreport.fco.gov.uk).</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 27/11/2014 14:24:15 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
