Animal Experiments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to the Answer of 12 September 2024 to Question 2163 on Animal Experiments, which scientists his Department has partnered with to work towards the requirements for phasing out animal testing; and how often he has met those scientists.
Answered by Feryal Clark
We are currently engaging with partners from sectors with interests in animal science as to how we will take this commitment forward. This has included a meeting with representatives from the agricultural, chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and a meeting with government scientists and regulators, including MHRA, APHA, FSA, EA and UKHSA. Further engagement will take place as this work develops.
