Has your MP signed Early Day Motion 92?

Please write to your MP to urge them to sign EDM 92 'Animal Testing of Drugs' calling for a scientific evaluation of animal testing, which will make an important contribution towards safeguarding human health and safety. The EDM has been tabled by Mike Hancock MP with Europeans for Medical Progress and could result in wholesale changes to the way drugs are tested for safety (and more besides!) if enough MPs support it.

You can find out who your MP is at http://www.locata.co.uk/commons or by telephoning the House of Commons Information Office on 020 7219 4272. You can read EDM 92 and see whether your MP has already signed it at www.curedisease.net. You can write to your MP at House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA; or by fax - for free - see www.faxyourmp.com.

EDM 92 - ANIMAL TESTING OF DRUGS

EDM 92: "That this House, in common with Europeans for Medical Progress, expresses its concerns regarding the safeguarding of public health through data obtained from laboratory animals, particularly in light of large numbers of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions that were not predicted by animal studies; is surprised that the Government has not commissioned or evaluated any formal research on the efficacy of animal experiments, and has no plans to do so; and, in common with 83 per cent of general practitioners in a recent survey, calls upon the Government to facilitate an independent and transparent scientific evaluation of the use of animals as surrogate humans in drug safety testing and medical research."
