I have arranged for my Department to forward to the Deputy a copy of the 2002 statistics on the use of animals for experimental and other scientific purposes. These statistics are compiled every three years in accordance with the requirements of the European Commission. The 2005 statistics are being compiled and will be available later in the year.
