Mr Norman Baker, the minister in charge of regulating animal experiments in the UK, has said he wants to see an end to all testing. In a statement, Mr Norman Baker said: “The coalition government is committed to enhancing openness and transparency about the use of animals in scientific research to improve public understanding of this work. It is also a personal priority of mine. The consultation on Section 24 of the Animals in Science Act has now concluded and we are currently analysing responses in preparation for pursuing potential legislative change.”
