The evening will begin with a report setting the scene for the debate outlining how Oxford has found itself at the centre of a controversy about the building of new animal vivisection laboratories; the lengths that both sides are prepared to go to and how things are likely to pan out assuming that opposing groups will never agree.

The debate will cover a wide range of issues surrounding animal testing with Gavin Esler leading the discussion.

Speakers including Mel Broughton from Speak and Professor Tipu Aziz, leading member of Pro-Test.
