Intervals are required as too frequent donations can result in serious side effects for donors. The Donor Selection Guidelines provide guidance for clinical exceptions where identified donors, such as individuals with genetic haemochromatosis, can donate blood up to every six weeks for their clinical benefit or need.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 13/12/2021 15:39:07 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

This was facilitated under the EU Cross-Border Enforcement Directive (CBE). The UK only used the outbound mechanism of CBE, meaning that we responded to enquiries from Member States, but we never sought to obtain the equivalent information from them about their nationals driving in the UK. Since leaving the EU, the UK is no longer obliged to provide vehicle keeper data to requesting EU Member States through this mechanism.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 14/12/2021 11:21:57 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
