§ 75. Sir GEORGE GREENWOODasked the President of the Board of Education what sum of money is annually expended or earmarked for any specific purpose; in assisting universities in the medical departments of which experiments on living animals are carried out; whether such sums are given for general purposes or ear-marked for any specific purpose; and what universities were in receipt of such sums during the last educational year?
Mr. FISHERA total sum of £84,254 was in 1913–14, the last year for which I can at present give figures, contributed by local education authorities to the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, London (King's College and University College), in which there are medical departments licensed for the carrying out of experiments on living animals. Part of the contributions was earmarked for special purposes (e.g., for payment of students' fees or for particular departments), but the greater part was available for general university purposes.
