HC Deb 15 May 2000 vol 350 c19W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the proportion of patients in the last five years who knew that the drugs dispensed to them had been tested on animals; and if he will make a statement. [122103]

Ms Stuart

No estimate has been made of the proportion of patients in the last five years who knew that the drugs dispensed to them had been tested on animals. Although there is no statutory requirement for pharmaceutical product labels to include a statement on animal testing, such information is often available in the Summary of Product Characteristic.
