HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 cc1597-8
36. Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the scheme for establishing a public health laboratory, recommended by a joint committee of the senate of the University College of Bangor and of local medical men, involves any contribution from rates or taxes towards its main- tenance; whether living animals are to be used for experimental research in this institution; and whether, if so, he will withhold his approval of any subsidy out of public moneys which are compulsorily provided in part by those who disapprove of vivisection?

Mr. FISHER

None of the local authorities have submitted to the Local Government Board any scheme of the nature indicated.
