Register of persons registered to use animals for scientific purposes

This register lists details of each person registered to use animals for scientific purposes.

The register states:

• registered person's name, address and registered number
• animal ethics committee to be used and its terms of reference
• if the person is not an individual, the office holder to whom the chairperson of the animal ethics committee must report
• date of expiry of current registration
• other information considered appropriate.

A registered person or applicant for registration may apply to be exempted from disclosure of their registration details in the register, on the basis that they are likely to be disadvantaged by this disclosure.

Exemption from disclosing a person's name can only be given if the person is an individual and not a corporation or learning institution.
