That this House is delighted that the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) has received a £1 million cash boost, increasing its budget to £2.4 million to research 11 new 3Rs projects; thanks the Medical Research Council, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and The Wellcome Trust for their support; is pleased that the importance of 3Rs research has been acknowledged, given Dagmar Roth-Behrendt MEP's recent statement that the deadline for the 2009 EU-wide marketing ban and animal testing ban on cosmetic ingredients will not be delayed; and asks the Government to continue to acknowledge the value of 3Rs research and further demonstrate its support by continuing this level of funding.
