That this House is concerned to note that thousands of primates are used in experiments across Europe each year with almost a third of them undergoing procedures in British laboratories;notes with deep regret that the European Commission refuses to implement a ban on live primate experiments across Europe; further notes that this is contrary to the wishes of 80 per cent. of the population; and therefore calls on the Government to promote strongly a timetabled replacement of all primate experiments in Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
