answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2023 answer text <p>The Government shares the British public’s high regard for animal welfare. Fur farming has been banned in England and Wales since 2000 (2002 in Scotland and Northern Ireland). While fur farming is legal in some EU countries, there are strict rules in place to ensure that animals kept for fur production are farmed, trapped and killed humanely. The risk to the UK population from these outbreaks is negligible and the Finnish government is taking action to cull the affected farms.</p><p> </p><p>Nevertheless, together with the UK Health Security Agency we are keeping a close eye on the findings in mink, foxes and other animals farmed for fur and the possible risk to human health. We have published a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hairs-risk-assessment-avian-influenza-ah5n1-in-non-avian-uk-wildlife" target="_blank">risk assessment on the transmission from animals to humans of influenza of avian origin</a>.</p><p> </p><p>International collaboration and knowledge exchange on avian influenza is facilitated through discussions between the UK Chief Veterinary Officer and representatives from the Animal and Plant Health Agency avian influenza national and international reference laboratories, and their counterparts in the EU and globally through the World Organisation for Animal Health and allied projects, including through the joint WOAH-FOA Scientific Network on animal influenza <a href="https://www.offlu.org/" target="_blank">OFFLU</a>.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 04/09/2023 16:02:01 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2023 answer text <p>The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is aware of organ-on-chip technologies to better identify potential toxicity of novel medicines and has engaged with other organisations active in this space such as the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement &amp; Reduction of Animals in Research who have hosted meetings on this theme. The MHRA has also provided scientific advice to at least one biotechnology company on the use of this technology to support proof of concept for a new medicine. The MHRA does not identify those with whom it may have had discussions for reasons of commercial sensitivity.</p><p>In relation to human specific methods, some medicines have been developed which only have activity in humans, such as eculizumab (Soliris), tebentafusp (Kimmtrak) or CAR T cell products (for instance, Kymriah, Yescarta and Tecartus). These medicines were developed using human specific methods; however, versions of these medicines that were active in animals were, in some cases, also used. The MHRA supports the developers of these products by its offer of scientific advice services, the Innovation Office and the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 13/06/2023 16:42:51 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
