About the Animal Procedures Committee

The Work of The Committee
The work of the Committee is split between reactive (for instance, when we look at certain licence applications, infringements, scientific developments and exposés) and pro-active (for example, advising on policy and practice)...
Composition of the Committee
The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 says that there must be at least 12 people on the Committee (excluding the Chairman).
Current members and Register of Interests
There are currently 14 members of the Committee (including the Chairman).

Sub-committees and Working groups
Some of the Committee's work is best taken forward in small groups, either in formal sub-committees or in working groups. Each reports back to the main Committee on their deliberations and conclusions reached.
