That this House welcomes The Ugly Truth investigation by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection into the testing of botox on animals; notes that despite being licensed as a medical treatment, botox is regularly used for cosmetic purposes; is concerned that thousands of animals are still used each year for botox testing despite an alternative being available which does not involve the use of animals; further notes that the LD50 test is used which is classed by the Home Office as being of substantial severity; and calls on the Home Office to ensure that the LD50 test is not used in botox tests undertaken for cosmetic purposes.
