HC Deb 02 July 1914 vol 64 cc546-7
77. Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked if the work to be carried on in the pathological laboratories which are to be provided for in this year's Finance Bill will include experiments on living animals?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

As I stated in reply to the hon. Member for the Wilton Division on the 14th May, the proposed Grant is in respect of laboratories to be used primarily for purposes of diagnosis and not of research.

Mr. CATHCART WASON

Are we to understand that these research committees will not be entitled to make experiments on living animals?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

That is not a matter which comes within my Department.
