AR-News: (UK) Prescott is sued over monkey laboratory

[Animalconcerns]

Animal rights activists are taking John Prescott to the High Court over a
decision to allow the University of Cambridge to build a £33m monkey
experimentation centre.

Animal Aid and the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) have lodged
papers at the High Court against Mr Prescott's decision to overrule a
planning inspector's rejection of plans for the massive laboratories at
Girton on the outskirts of Cambridge.

They claim Mr Prescott, who has overall responsibility for planning, made
a decision which was "perverse, unreasonable and unfair" by giving
approval to the centre, which will look at the causes of diseases
including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
