	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>We are determined that there should be no need for any additional animal testing for a chemical that has already been registered to EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. In such a scenario, the UK system that we will put in place (UK REACH) will retain the ‘last resort principle’ – that companies can only use animal testing as a last resort.</p><p> </p><p>We have also ensured that under UK REACH the information requirements would be the same as under EU REACH. Businesses will therefore be able to confirm their registrations by submitting the same technical information that was required by EU REACH.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 23/07/2019 15:42:32 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
