Get MP to back tests campaign
Tuesday 3rd October 2006, 3:28PM BST.
Established medical groups, including the House of Lords Select Committee on Animals in Scientific Procedures, the British Medical Journal and the Nuffield Committee on Bioethics, have requested an independent inquiry. More than 200 MPs have signed Early Day Motion 92 calling for such an inquiry.
An inquiry could lead to valuable findings, safer medicine and a reduction in the estimated 15,000 deaths caused each year in Britain by unforeseen reactions to drugs. I urge readers to contact their MP and ask him to sign EDM 92 – Animal Testing of Drugs. This can be done online at http://www.writetothem.com/ or by post at The House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA.
