Animal Testing
EDM number 69 in 2009-10, proposed by Bob Spink on 18/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Animal experiments.
That this House notes that the Government prohibited the use of animals to test cosmetic products and their ingredients, because it caused unjustified suffering given the nature of the products; is concerned that the use of animals in scientific procedures continues to outstrip the development of non-animal alternatives in spite of the valuable work of the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Researchand other organisations involved in the development and promotion of non-animal alternatives, replacing the need for animal testing and offering hope of humane scientific research; and calls on the Government to implement a policy of prohibition on issuing licences to conduct scientific research and test household products and their ingredients on animals without delay.
This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
