AR-News: (UK) Animal lab challenged

[Animalconcerns]

Two animal welfare groups are challenging the government's backing of a
£32m research laboratory which will use monkeys in research on
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other incurable diseases.

Lawyers for Animal Aid and the National Anti-Vivisection Society have
lodged an appeal against the deputy prime minister, John Prescott's
approval of the project drawn up by Cambridge University.

Judges will be asked to set aside Mr Prescott's decision to overrule his
own planning inspector by backing the lab on green belt land near Girton,
Cambridge. The appeal describes the minister's action as "perverse and
unreasonable" and based on minimal fact and flawed information.
