Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Animal Testing

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for being so generous with her time; she is leading the debate excellently. Like many Members, I have been contacted by constituents raising this issue. On Friday, Karen, one of my constituents, talked to me at my coffee morning specifically about the issue of new approach methodologies and their potential to unlock a much more humane approach to testing medicines. My hon. Friend rightly raises AI’s potential to model biological processes. Does she agree that, as the UK is a leader in both the life sciences and AI, with focus, joint Government working and funding we should be able to lead the way in new AI modelling to replace animal testing? That could potentially be a growth story for the country and something we could export internationally to address this issue and finally put an end to animal testing.
