The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Inspectorate Annual Report 2007
The 2007 annual report explains the inspectorate’s role in assessing and advising Home Office ministers, and officials, on applications for personal and project licences and certificates of designation under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986.
It also provides details of the inspection system through which compliance with licence authorities granted under the 1986 Act is monitored, and about visiting patterns and practice and the number of visits carried out during the year.
It explains the important role of inspectors in gathering and transmitting information on good practice and provides examples of the many events and initiatives to which the inspectorate made significant contributions during the year.
In addition, the report contains special features on the generation, breeding and maintenance of genetically-altered mice and on the planning and construction of buildings in which scientific work involving animals is to be conducted.
Publication of this report honours a commitment given by the government in response to a recommendation of the House of Lords select committee on animals in scientific procedures in July 2002.
The purpose of the report is to improve transparency and public awareness of the inspectorate’s work.
