HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 cc1386-7
105. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether, as a result of the experiments on 451 dogs performed during 1929, in addition to any performed prior to last year, there has been any diminution of distemper; and, if so, to what extent?

Mr. SHORT

I have no information on this matter. The hon. Member is mistaken in speaking of "experiments on 451 dogs." My right hon. Friend made it clear in his reply of 14th February that only 74 of the 451 experiments were performed on dogs.
