BAN ON COSMETIC TESTING ON ANIMALS

Early day motion 1771, tabled 17 November 1998 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House welcomes the ban on cosmetic testing on animals which was confirmed by the Home Office on 16th November; notes that this ban prevents the testing of finished cosmetic products, but, more importantly, now includes a ban on the testing of ingredients; congratulates the Government and companies which have voluntarily agreed to give up their licences; and hopes that the Government will invest in projects to find an alternative to the use of animals in scientific research in the future.
