This is achieved through robustly applying the principles of the 3Rs which require that, in every research proposal, animals are replaced with non-animal alternatives wherever possible; that the number of animals used is reduced to the minimum needed to achieve the results sought; and that, for those animals which must be used, procedures are refined as much as possible to minimise their suffering.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 14/11/2017 14:47:44 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
