I thank my hon. Friend the Member for North Ayrshire and Arran (Irene Campbell) for opening this important debate, and I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. We appreciate that the use of animals in medical research stirs strong emotional instincts across the UK, including many colleagues here. The day when we can finally bring an end to animal testing cannot come soon enough. Sadly, however, that day is not here yet. The Government will publish a strategy later this year to support the development, validation, and uptake of alternative methods. The roadmap aims to replace animals with alternatives wherever possible, aiming to place the UK at the forefront of international efforts. Currently, over £100 million has been committed through funding for new three Rs approaches by the NC3Rs since its launch in 2004. Further investment includes more than £6 million for seven centres of excellence for regulatory science and innovation, supporting advancements like computational techniques to test medical products. While we work towards alternatives, the careful regulation of animal use remains necessary.
