What is the Home Office doing to reduce the number of animals used in scientific procedures?
As regulator, the Home Office is demand-led and we have no control over the number of project licence applications we receive. Whilst we seek to minimise the number of animals used in particular programmes of work, we cannot influence the overall amount of animal research which takes place. That is determined by many other factors, including the economic climate and global trends in scientific endeavour.
