Written question asked by Bob Blackman (Conservative) on Monday, 8 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 10 June 2026. It was answered by Sarah Jones (Labour) on Thursday, 11 June 2026 on behalf of the Home Office.
Animal Experiments: Dogs and Primates
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 June 2026 to Question 5319 on Animal Experiments, what the expected number of procedures involving (a) dogs and (b) non-human primates was under service project licences in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
The Home Office does not hold centrally collated figures on expected number of procedures to be carried out under service project licences involving dogs or non-human primates in each of the last five years.
Project licences authorise programmes of work according to the scientific need set out in the application, rather than against a single centrally recorded expected procedures total. Information on the expected number and types of animals to be used is set out in published non-technical summaries for each of the licensed programmes of work – published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/non-technical-summaries-of-projects-granted-under-aspa.
