Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what Home Office approval of licensing arrangements exist in the case of testing (1) of milk for the purposes of Crentzfeldt-Jakob disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy research; [32924]

(2) of urine for the purposes of CJD or BSE research. [32925]

Any testing which might cause harm or suffering to animals, including the inoculation of tissues and fluids into laboratory animals, would need authorisation under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986.
