Many people have written to me with concerns about the use of animals in science.
I’m delighted UK Labour Government will phase out animal tests wherever possible, replacing them with alternatives that still fully protect the safety of patients & the environment.

Welfare groups welcome news which could see animal tests stopped
2.64 million scientific procedures involving animals took place in 2024 - a 1.2% decrease compared to 2023 which Animal Free Research called “pitiful”.

I recently met with Melanie James, Heartbeat Trust UK, at Lewis Construction in Trostre as she launched the roll out of Critical Bleed Control bleed kits to Carmarthenshire.
These kits save lives. I hope we can persuade others locally to provide them in workplaces and vehicles too.

But it is shocking that fraudsters were able to hide behind shell companies in our own offshore territories, and then invest their ill-gotten gains in UK property.
It is time to drive dirty money out of our economy for good.

When businesses are paid on time, money flows more quickly allowing businesses to invest rather than wasting time and money chasing unpaid invoices.
I support tougher laws to ensure fast payment of invoices and penalties for persistent late payers.
