Dear Animals in Science Policy,
Thank you for asking for claification.
1) Live animals used for Scientific Purposes
2) Transportation standards that includes both International and UK Wide
3) The Home Office overarching the Animals in Science Policy and The Animals in Science Committee.
The list you have given does not give me a clue as to who collects complaints and puts together reports on Compliance for in the Standards for Transporting Animals transported and used for scientific purposes.
As these animals come under the ASPA 1986 Act, the transport complaints raised regarding any incidents should come under this body not DEFRA?
Yours sincerely,
Tarnia Wilson
