Use Of Animals In Alcohol Experiments

EDM number 819 in 1989-90, proposed by Harry Cohen on 29/03/1990.

That this House is deeply concerned by the failure of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 to prevent the use of animals in alcohol experiments; notes that during 1988, 4,313 animals were used for this purpose, despite the well-known damaging effects of alcohol and the availability of human biopsy and autopsy specimens for further study; and calls upon the Secretary of State for the Home Department to cease the granting of further licences for alcohol experiments and to put a time limit on the existing licences for the same purposes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs.
