Mr. Kirkwood: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make representations to (a) pharmaceutical and (b)
other commercial companies undertaking tests on live animals to move towards alternative methods of testing. [14988]
Mr. Sackville: All applicants for project licences, commercial or otherwise, are required by the terms of the Animals (Scientific
Procedures) Act 1986 to consider the use of non-animal tests, where they are available and where they are consistent with the
achievement of the scientific objectives of the project.
The Home Office is also working with regulatory agencies and with organisations representing commercial interests to encourage the
use of alternative methods of testing.

Mr. Kirkwood: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he proposes to encourage provision for alternative
methods to experimentation on live animals for basic research in toxicity testing and drug development; and if he will make a
statement. [14989]
Mr. Sackville: Research on alternative methods is funded through the research budget of the animal procedures committee. The
Government support the operations of the European centre for the validation of alternative methods in co-ordinating research into
alternative methods across all areas of scientific activity which use animals in regulated procedures. This includes methods to
reduce the number of animals, to refine the severity of procedures, and to replace animal use.
Officials meet regulatory agencies and other Government Departments to establish principles for the use of animals in safety
testing. In addition, all applicants for project licences under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 are required to
consider the use of alternatives where these are available.
