My
understanding, form when I used to sit on an LREC, was that as part of the
application you indicated how long samples would be stored for, and if, once
the initial research was completed they would be anonymised. Maybe you should
check this with your local LREC administrator.
Also, I found
this which if I read it correctly implies that if it has gone through an LREC,
then you do not need a separate licence.

Best of luck
filling out the LREC forms!!

Subject: UK tissue/serum
storage laws re: Human tissue act
Dear
all,
does
anyone in the UK
know how to obtain a license for longer term storage of serum samples?
This
has arisen as a consequence of a study that we are proposing - as we intend to
keep the samples after the study is complete (for possible future research).
Many
thanks for your advice.
