Lord Dubs

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to review Schedule 1 to the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. [HL2069]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

We are arranging for possible changes to the schedule to be considered by the Animal Procedures Committee, the statutory body which advises the Secretary of State on the operation of the 1986 Act. Before deciding on the action to be taken we will carefully consider the committee's recommendations.
