Motion Text

leave out from 'and urges the Government to support regulations' to end and add 'and for consumers to have a right to know which chemicals are in products they buy; notes that the Charter is backed by over 70 consumer and environmental groups across Europe; and urges the Government to support regulations based on the Charter and introduce these regulations in a way which avoids a resulting increase in the number of animal experiments, through investment in the development of alternative, non-animal tests and regulating chemicals using validated alternative techniques wherever possible.'.
