answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>The 2017 Annual Statistics show an increase in the number of scientific procedures involving horses from 8,948 procedures in 2016, to 10,600 procedures in 2017. This increase is accounted for by an increased collection of blood from those animals. Each blood collection is counted as a separate procedure and horses are used many times for this low severity procedure.</p><p>Blood products are used for a variety purposes, mainly human diagnostic tests. The increased number of procedures in 2017 reflects the increased demand for blood products by diagnostic and research laboratories. Over the same period there was a reduction in the number of new horses, used for the first time for this purpose, from 373 to 288.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 06/09/2018 16:21:44 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>Neuromuscular blocking agents were licensed for use, without general anaesthetic, for basic research on zebra fish fry for the purposes of research into the functioning of the nervous system. The procedures authorised were non-invasive imaging. The procedures are not painful, and although at this stage the fry do not need to move for respiration, they are kept in water while being imaged.</p><p>The neuromuscular blockers ensure that swimming movements do not interfere with the highly sophisticated imaging of their nervous systems</p><p>This work was licensed following a robust Harm Benefit Analysis, consistent with the requirements of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 06/09/2018 16:26:20 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
