"As science rapidly develops it is important that the case for using non-human primates in biomedical research is continually evaluated. For this reason the independent Weatherall report is timely for its comprehensive examination of the evidence surrounding this emotive issue. We welcome this report and will be considering the report's full recomendations in due course."
