Vivisection—Consecutive Experiments on the same Animal.

HC Deb 06 July 1903 vol 124 c1378

MR. WEIR

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, is there any limit to the number of consecutive operations that may be performed on the same dog under the Act 39 and 40 Vic, c. 77, as administered by the Home Office.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) The Act imposes no such limit, but it is within the power of the Secretary of State to impose one, if thought necessary, by conditions attached to the licence.
