Labour — Newport West and Islwyn

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Animal Testing

Contribution

I understand the timetable that the Minister is outlining, which is great, but there are still millions of tests being undertaken every year unnecessarily. We know about the forced swim and LD50 tests. Could the Minister outline a bit more the review of the generic project licences? How can we issue a licence for a generic project when we do not know about it? How can we evaluate and assess the risks there?
