§ DR. SHIPMANTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether separate experiments under Certificate B. or B+E., E., or C., other than consecutive operations necessary for the due completion of one experiment, have been performed on the same animal during the last year for which statistics are available; and, if so, how many.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) I have not given sanction for the performance of more than one operation on the same animal under the certificates mentioned, other than consecutive operations necessary for the due completion of one experiment; and with the exception of the facts connected with the case of "Baylis v. Coleridge" I have no information on the subject.
