Motion 34M(PO) 2003

This is the motion that SES wanted this year to enhance with Motion 69M(PO) 2004 and the EC to diminish with Motion 70M(PO), neither of which were debated as Conference ran out of time.

"This Association recognises that the University may wish to continue to provide experiments using animal tissue. It calls upon the University to ensure that any such tissue is ethically sourced, e.g. not from purpose-bred or purpose killed animals."

Motion 69M(PO) 2004

This was our motion to enhance last year's Motion 34.

Delete Motion 34M(PO) 2003 and replace with:

"This Association recognises that the University may wish to continue to provide experiments using animal tissue at undergraduate residential and day schools using animal tissue. It calls upon the University to ensure that any such tissue is ethically sourced, e.g. neither from purpose-bred nor purpose-killed animals."

Motion 70M(PO) 2004

This was the Executive Committee's motion which would have changed and diminished last year's 34.

Delete Resolution 34M(PO) 2003 and replace with:

"This Association recognises that the University may wish to continue to provide experiments using animal tissue. It calls upon the University to ensure, where practical and within the bounds of the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986* and current health and safety regulations, that any such tissue is ethically sourced e.g. not from purpose-bred or purpose killed animals."

* Undergraduate educational experiments are outside the scope of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA).
