Animal Experiments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to increase the number of inspectors in the Animals in Science Regulation Unit.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Home Office is in the final stages of delivering an ambitious programme of regulatory reform to assure protections for animals are provided and will ensure we create a regulatory environment that strives towards ever higher benchmarks of reduced harm.
This will increase the total number of Inspectors from 17 at the end of 2023, to 22 by end of 2025.
