Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing a statutory requirement for the Animals in Science Regulation Unit to publish an annual report that includes details of incidents of non-compliance with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, or with licence conditions.

The Animals in Science Regulation Unit has routinely published its Annual Report since 2011 and will continue to do so.

The Report sets out all confirmed non‑compliance cases with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and any enforcement actions taken.

The Reports are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/animals-in-science-regulation-unit-annual-reports
