Royal Commission On Animal Experiments
EDM number 1180 in 1997-98, proposed by Nigel Jones on 31/03/1998.
That this House recognises continuing public unease surrounding the use of animal experiments; notes the recent half million signature petition presented on 31 March to the Prime Minister's Office by Naturewatch supporters; deplores the excessive secrecy which still permeates the animal experiment industry; and urges Her Majesty's Government to set up a Royal Commission to review the effectiveness and justification of animal experiments.
This motion has been signed by a total of 173 MPs.
