HC Deb 03 December 1930 vol 245 c2227
69. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Home Secretary how many licences for the performance of experiments on living animals have been refused, if any, during last year?

Mr. SHORT

Four applications for licences were refused during 1929.

Mr. FREEMAN

Can the hon. Gentleman give the reasons for these refusals?

Mr. SHORT

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put down another question.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Was the right hon. Gentleman the Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood) among the refusals?
