Animal Experiments: Research
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to the policy paper entitled Replacing animals in science: A strategy to support the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods, published on 11 November 2025, what progress she has made on achieving (a) equal and (b) better research and testing outcomes using alternative methods.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The strategy sets out a long‑term, cross‑government programme to accelerate the development, validation and uptake of non‑animal methods. By achieving the commitments set out in the strategy this government will achieve equal and better research and testing outcomes using alternative methods.
The Government will publish a delivery update, alongside key performance indicators on progress across all elements of the strategy, later in 2026.
