The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions he has had with (a) civil society and (b) animal protection organisations on ending animal testing.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government is committed to supporting the use of alternative methods to the use of animals in science and the Labour Manifesto includes a commitment to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”, which is a long-term goal. The government will be consulting civil society and animal protection organisations as this process unfolds.
