Local MPs are well represented in a list of the 308 who are calling upon the Government to honour its 1997 promise to set up a Royal Commission to inquire into animal experiments.
Peter Bottomley, Tim Loughton, Des Turner, David Lepper, Ivor Caplin, Norman Baker, Nigel Waterson and Laura Moffatt all deserve our appreciation for supporting the call for such an investigation.
Two names notably absent from the signatories are Nicholas Soames and Francis Maude.
Perhaps animal welfare is not of great concern to them?
