HC Deb 26 June 1903 vol 124 cc659-60
SIR JOHN ROLLESTON (Leicester)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the increase in the number of experiments performed on living animals since the passing of the Cruelty to Animals Act, he will state if he has received any Report of the results of these experiments, as the Act provides; and, if so, whether he will cause such Report to be issued.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers Douglas.) The Secretary of State receives numerous reports of the results of experiments in pursuance of the requirements which the Act referred to enables him to make. Many of these reports become accessible to the public in printed form; but I do not think it practicable to publish them officially.
