A Bill to require the declaration relating to animal research to be placed on medicinal products' labels.
House of Lords
28 October 2013
The Medicinal Labelling Bill would require a declaration about animal research to be placed on the labels of medicinal products. It aims to give the public clearer information about how medicines have been developed using animal testing. The details of what must be declared and how it appears on labels would be set out in the Bill and any subsequent regulations.
The Bill is at the second reading in the Lords, its early stage of passage. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage and later readings in the Lords before moving to the House of Commons.
