The Regulator for the use of animals in science publishes an annual report that includes all non-compliance cases for personal, project and establishment licences and subsequent enforcement actions taken (see: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/animals-in-science-regulation-unit#annual-reports).

The Regulator does not compile separate data on revocations of licences as a result of non-compliances.
