§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state what quantity of glycerin-ated calf lymph is produced annually in the Army Vaccine Institute; the number of calves operated on; and whether they are sold for human food or utilised in the military kitchens.
§ MR.ARNOLD-FORSTERThe annual average amount of glycerinated calf lymph produced at the Army and Navy Vaccine Institute is sufficient to vaccinate 126,280 persons, and the average annual number of calves operated on thirty. The calves are slaughtered and postmortem examinations made in each, case before the carcasses are sold to the public. They are not utilised in military kitchens.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe Question does not ask that.
