Madam, New rules governing animal experiments for the whole of Europe are currently being developed by the European Union, and Animal Aid's supporters are calling for a timetabled phase-out of the use of all primates.

Around 10,000 primates are used in laboratories across Europe each year, with a third of them undergoing 'procedures' in Britain.

Toxicity testing – one of the most common uses of monkeys – involves deliberately poisoning the animals by overdose.

Over a period of days, weeks or months, they are dosed with drugs or chemicals by injection, inhalation or gavage (force feeding).
