To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to end the import of the offspring of wild-caught monkeys, known as F1 generation, from Mauritius.

I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Home Department.
The Government currently has no plans to end the use of F1 generation macaques under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, whether sourced from Mauritius or elsewhere. At present, about two-thirds of macaques used in the United Kingdom under the 1986 Act are the offspring of captive-bred animals (F2 animals). The remainder are F1.
European directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes sets out dates from which member states must, in due course, ensure that only F2 non-human primates may be used and provides for a feasibility study to be carried out to confirm those dates. Provision is also made in directive 2010/63/EU for an examination of the feasibility of moving towards sourcing non-human primates from self-sustaining colonies.
