The Home Office does not keep records of project licence applications that have been rejected or withdrawn at either the concept or the drafting stage of the application process. The Secretary of State has not rejected any of the recommendations for granting project licences made by the Animals in Science Regulation Unit inspectors between 2014 and 2016.
