Animal Experiments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how her Department plans to track progress on phasing out animal testing through the Replacing Animals in Science strategy.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
A publicly available dashboard of progress against the strategy’s key deliverables and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the delivery of the Replacing Animals in Science Strategy will be published later in 2026. Any work to phase out animal testing must be science-led, in lock step with partners, so we will not be setting arbitrary timelines for overall reduction, but we will publish timelines for specific actions.
