1. On what grounds are you giving Envigo, an American company operating in the UK, British tax payers money amounting to almost £700 000.
2. What EXACTLY is this money to be used for? Nutritional diet supplies? Please explain why anyone would be allocated public money for this.
3. Did you not take into account when awarding this money that a) Envigo is an extremely wealthy company that does not need UK tax payers money b) that you are funding a company with an horrific record in animal mistreatment which led to their facility in Virginia being shut down and 4000 Beagle dogs being rehomed.
4. How will you monitor the terms of the Grant?
5. Will Envigo facilities be subject to inspection as a result of being given tax payers public money.
