Early day motion 1704A1, tabled 25 July 2006 by Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 17 members.

leave out from `setting' to end and add `calls for the ban on the use of great apes to be extended to all primates when suitable alternatives become available, but recognises in the meantime that UK animal welfare standards are high, that primate research is only licensed when there is no alternative and that insights into diseases such as HIV/AIDS, TB and Parkinson's disease are crucially dependent on primate models.'.
