Tiverton and Honiton MP Neil Parish has backed pressure group British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection’s No Cruel Cosmetics campaign to end animal testing for toiletries and cosmetic products sold in the EU.

The campaign was launched in response to concerns over a delay to the 2013 EU ban on the import and sale of animal-tested products.

The MP has joined more than 100,000 supporters of the BUAV’s campaign by signing the No Cruel Cosmetics petition.
