To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to end the import of the offspring of wild-caught monkeys, known as F1 generation, from Mauritius.

I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Home Department.
The Government currently has no plans to end the use of F1 generation macaques under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, whether sourced from Mauritius or elsewhere. At present, about two-thirds of macaques used in the United Kingdom under the 1986 Act are the offspring of captive-bred animals (F2 animals). The remainder are F1.
European directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes sets out dates from which member states must, in due course, ensure that only F2 non-human primates may be used and provides for a feasibility study to be carried out to confirm those dates. Provision is also made in directive 2010/63/EU for an examination of the feasibility of moving towards sourcing non-human primates from self-sustaining colonies.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff are in contact with the Mauritian authorities about this case and we understand that they are taking further steps to bring those responsible to justice, including carrying out a further police investigation by a different Team. We await the results of this investigation. We have reiterated our offer of full support to the Irish Government in Dublin and the Irish ambassador, who are rightly taking the lead in providing consular support to the McAreavey family. We stand ready to respond to any further requests for assistance.

The meeting held on 8 June was to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on Piracy. The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) was raised but there was no detailed discussion of the return of the Chagossians, though the Mauritian Prime Minister stated that he thought that the islanders’ way of life was sustainable on the islands. There was no commitment to talks with Mauritius on the sovereignty of BIOT, over which the UK has no doubts: the islands have been British since 1814. Nor was there a commitment to involve Mauritius in any extension of the 1966 Exchange of Notes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the talks which were agreed during the Prime Minister's meeting with the Prime Minister of Mauritius on 8 June 2012, will begin; and whether they will include the questions of sovereignty, the return of the Chagossians and the...

During Dr Ramgoolam’s meetings with the Prime Minister and myself on 8 June there was no agreement to formal talks, although we retain a warm bilateral relationship. During the meetings we expressed interest in a more constructive relationship on British Indian Ocean Territory issues, though we made it clear that this was difficult while court cases continue. I also refer my right hon. Friend to the answer to question HL 633 from Lord Avebury.
