PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Animal Experiments (4 October 2024)

The Government is committed to supporting the uptake and development of alternative methods to the use of animals in science. The Labour Manifesto includes a commitment to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”, which is a long-term goal.

We recognise that any work to phase out animal testing must be science-led and in lock step with partners. We are currently engaging with partners from sectors with interests in animal science as to how we will take this commitment forward.
