question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the publication of Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals, Great Britain 2013, what assessment she has made of the reasons for the increase in the number of guinea pigs used in scientific procedures; and how many of those guinea pigs were used by DSTL Porton Down.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/08/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The increase in the number of guinea pigs used in scientific procedures during <br>2013 is largely due to a change from tissue (mainly blood) collection <br>post-mortem to collecting it ante-mortem. Collecting tissues post mortem is not <br>a regulated procedure and therefore is not reported in the statistics. <br><br>In real terms, the number of guinea pigs needed for the collection of a <br>specified volume of blood is fewer by the ante-mortem method than by the post- <br>mortem method previously used. The blood collection is carried out on <br>terminally anaesthetised guinea pigs, such that there is no actual additional <br>suffering for the individual animals, compared with the post mortem method. <br>Guinea pig blood and its components are used widely in biomedical research as <br>reagents for non-animal research methods. <br><br>The number of guinea pigs used by DSTL Porton Down cannot be given as Section <br>24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 prevents the Home Office <br>from releasing statistics for individual establishments. It is a decision for <br>the Ministry of Defence to decide what information to release in regards to <br>animals used under their individual certificates.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 15/08/2014 12:15:00 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
