PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ROYAL COMMISSION ON ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS (26 March 2001)
Motion Details
That this House recognises the continued public unease surrounding the use of animal experiments; notes the half million signature petition presented 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 inquiry to review the effectiveness of and justification for animal experiments.
