Prof John Martin, professor, Centre for Vascular Biology and Medicine
Science Media Centre hosted a press briefing to allow the Home Office to inform the media of the details of the annual statistics on the use of living animals in scientific procedures. The report was laid before parliament at the same time, and the briefing was an opportunity for journalists to ask questions about the statistics, how they are compiled and what they mean.
