Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to table a resolution to the UN to establish an ad hoc committee to develop an international agreement for the barring of animal testing for cosmetics.
The Government currently has no plans to table a resolution to the United Nations to establish an ad hoc committee to develop an international agreement for the barring of animal testing for cosmetics.
The UK was the first country in the world to ban cosmetics being tested on animals. We are keen to share our knowledge and best practice globally to support the ending of cosmetics testing on animals in favour of non-animal alternatives.
