  MORI 'Use Of Animals In Medical Research' Survey 2005

  Findings of a MORI research study on behalf of the Coalition for Medical Progress (CMP) show that 75% of the GB population can accept animal experimentation so long as it is for medical purposes. A similar proportion (76%) can accept animal experimentation as long as there is no unnecessary suffering to the animals. 72% of adults agree with animal experimentation for all types of medical research where there is no alternative, and 53% can accept animal research only for life-threatening diseases. 89% of those surveyed agreed with one or more of these four statements.

  Public Attitudes Towards Insurance Fraud

  Detica has released results from a MORI poll exploring public attitudes towards insurance fraud. A key finding of the research is that while most people think that a proportion of a typical insurance premium does go towards paying for insurance fraud, most overestimate the amount. More than half (54%) believe that fraud adds more than 10% to premiums, including 40% of people who believe this figure to be over 20%. In fact, the true figure is just 3.75% (source: Association of British Insurers).

  Glasgow Citizens Panel — Aggregate Data Analysis

  In July 2003 MORI Scotland was commissioned by Glasgow City Council to recruit and manage a new Glasgow Citizens' Panel. In a departure from methods used in the past, it was decided that the panel would be recruited over a series of waves — a process which is ongoing. Each financial year, two residents' surveys are conducted among representative samples of around 1,000 people in Glasgow with each survey doubling as a panel recruitment exercise. The surveys focus on local services and wider community issues, and the results are used to inform service development. To date (autumn 2005), four waves of the survey have been conducted and a fifth is underway.
