Animal Experiments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department plans to introduce a dedicated funding stream for the development, validation and uptake of non-animal New Approach Methodologies.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The Government has announced £75m of funding to accelerate alternatives and innovation, with new capabilities being developed across the UK. This funding will help bring forward advanced testing methods that can save lives and support a faster, science‑led route to regulation. £60 million of this is ring‑fenced, multi‑year funding secured through the 2025 Spending Review to provide long‑term stability for strategic programmes. The Department remains fully committed to delivering the actions set out in the Replacing Animals in Science strategy through the funding secured in the Review.
