HC Deb 10 August 1905 vol 151 c950
MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH (Anglesey)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the fact that dogs are bred specially for the purpose of vivisection at the Brockwell Hall and other farm laboratories; and if he will cause a Return to be made of the places at which dogs are being specially bred for this purpose, the laboratories at which experiments are performed on them, and the nature and purposes of such experiments.

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

I have made inquiry, and I understand that dogs have been bred at Brockwell Hall, and that some of the dogs so bred have been used for experiments in the laboratories. I do not think it is of material importance whether dogs which are used for purposes of experiment are bred on the premises or imported from elsewhere; and, as it is not a matter over which I have any control, I fear I cannot undertake to furnish the Return suggested by the hon. Member.
