12 Jul 2024 --- Cruelty Free International wants the UK’s new Labour government to honor its manifesto pledge to “partner with scientists, industry and civil society” and phase out animal testing. Dylan Underhill, the organization’s head of Public Affairs, tells Personal Care Insights that he will be waiting to see if solid measures are applied and if the new governmental leaders will follow through on their promises.Home Office statistics show that over 2.76 million animals were used in laboratories in Great Britain in 2022. Regulators require 10% of those tests to assess the safety or effectiveness of chemicals, medicines and other products.
