§ 18. Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary whether every place registered for vivisection under the Act, 39 and 40 Vic., c. 77, was visited by an inspector during last year; and, if not, which places were not visited?
§ Sir J. GILMOURAll the registered places were inspected last year except one, for which no licence was available during 1931.
§ 20. Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary when certificates were last granted authorizing experiments upon animals to the research laboratory of the Royal Dental Hospital and the dates of such certificates; and whether he will state the nature of the experiments performed under the certificates and the kind of animals upon which the experiments were performed?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe last certificates for experiments on animals at the Royal Dental Hospital, London, were allowed to come into operation in October, 1931, and they are still in force. It would be contrary to practice to give information as to the nature of the experiments performed by the person holding them.
