HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c380
38. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many warships have been fitted out for experiments on animals in connection with research into atomic warfare; and what animals are to be acquired for this purpose.

Mr. J. Dugdale

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 10th November to my hon. Friend the Member for Epping (Mrs. Manning).

Mr. Hughes

Can we be told whether similar experiments have already been carried out in America, and whether the information gained by the American Navy is transferred to our Navy?

Mr. Dugdale

That is quite another question.
