§ SIR FREDERICK BANBURY (Camberwell, Peckham)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what was the nature and amount of the anæsthetic given to the brown dog operated upon consecutively by vivisectors at University College, London, on the 2nd of February last; how long before the animal was brought into the theatre by Dr. Bayliss was that anæsthetic administered; will he state who was the licencee who performed the experiment involving the two cutting operations upon the dog before it was operated upon in another part of its body on the 2nd of last February by Dr. Bayliss; and under what certificate was the experiment involving these two operations performed.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers Douglas.) If, as I understand is the case, there is an action pending in connection with statements which have been made regarding the operation performed at University College on the 2nd February last by Dr. Bayliss, I do not think I ought to go into detailed points such as those mentioned in the first two paragraphs of the Question. I have already in previous answers given fully the main facts of the case. As to the two last paragraphs, Professor E. H. Starling performed the experiment referred to, under Certificates B. and E.E.
