Questions

1) May I have the number of scientific procedures undertaken and split between species during the year.

2) Could you please provide a numerical breakdown of the severity classification for procedures carried out.

Please split between sub threshold, mild, moderate, severe and non recovery. These will be the figures provided by project licence holders in the annual returns to the Home Office.

3) Please can you tell me the number and species of animals, that were killed without being used for regulated procedures? To be clear these would be the figures last published in 2017 re Additional statistics on breeding and genotyping of animals for scientific procedures, Great Britain 2017, under EU Directive (2010/63/EU).

4) Were any animals rehomed in 2022? If so, please may I have their number and species.

5) Do you reconcile the statistics each project licence holder compiles for the annual returns to the data the Establishment separately collects?

6) Can you please tell me for 2021 and 2022 how many project licences the Animal Welfare Ethical Review Body (AWERB) for your Establishment reviewed and decided to prevent them continuing for Home Office approval, this may be because for instance they identified a New Approach Methodology that could be used instead of animals.
