    re Animal Use under ASPA 1986 – MRC Facts and Figures1:

    1. Please can you tell me the number and species of animals, that were killed without being used for regulated procedures for 2023? These additional statistics on breeding and genotyping of animals for scientific procedures, Great Britain were last compulsory to collect for the 2017 under EU Directive (2010/63/EU). Since then it has not been required that Establishments keep these figures however I would like them if you do. If you no longer keep these records please can I have the information that you submitted for publication relating to 2017.

    2. Were any animals rehomed in 2023? If so, please may I have their number and species.

    3. Can you please tell me for 2023 how many, if any, project licences the Animal Welfare Ethical Review Body (AWERB) for your Establishment reviewed and decided to prevent them continuing for Home Office approval, this may be because for instance they identified a New Approach Methodology that could be used instead of animals.

    4. Finally, can you please tell me how many sites are covered by your Establishment licence?
