EXPERIMENTS ON PRIMATES

Early day motion 1042, tabled 10 March 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 55 members.

That this House is concerned to note that thousands of primates are used in experiments across Europe each year; further notes with deep regret that the European Commission refuses to implement a ban on live primate experiments across Europe; further notes that this is contrary to the wishes of 80 per cent. of the population; and therefore calls on the Government to promote strongly a timetabled replacement of all primate experiments in Europe.
