Anti-vivisectionists claimed a victory yesterday in their campaign to halt 
the construction of a £18m animal testing laboratory when one of the country's 
largest building material suppliers halted deliveries.
Travis Perkins said it would end deliveries to the site of the new Oxford 
University complex after it was contacted by an animal rights group which is 
trying to persuade the project's contractors to withdraw.
The Northampton-based building supplies company, which has 700 branches, 
refused to say whether its decision was a result of the campaign. But in an e-mail 
sent to Speak, the campaign group opposing the Oxford laboratory, Travis 
Perkins said: "Having concluded our investigation, we would like to confirm our 
decision that Travis Perkins will cease deliveries to the specific site in 
Oxford."
