Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether additional funding and staffing has been allocated to regulators and public bodies to implement the strategy to replace animals in science.

The Government has announced £75m of funding to accelerate alternatives and innovation, with new capabilities being developed across the UK. This funding will help bring forward advanced testing methods that can save lives and support a faster, science‑led route to regulation. Discussions are underway with regulators and public bodies to determine how this funding will be allocated to support effective implementation of the Replacing Animals in Science strategy
