HC Deb 11 March 1912 vol 35 c788
Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether information could be got and then issued from the Board regarding the German experiments on animals affected with tumours, seeing how common it is in this country?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of AGRICULTURE Mr. Runciman)

I am not sure as to the nature of the information which the hon. Member desires to obtain, but if he refers to the experiments carried out by Dr. Von. Hausemann, to which he referred in the question he asked on the 4th instant, I may say that those experiments are similar in character to the experiments which are being carried out in this country by means of the Cancer Research Fund.

Mr. STANIER

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the conditions under which they are carried on?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

They are exactly the same as those carried out by this country by the council of the Research Fund, which already has a publication of its own.
