HC Deb 16 December 1966 vol 738 c169W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science to what extent the Government is financing medical research which does not involve the use of animals; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redhead

A large proportion of research in the laboratory as well as in the fields of clinical and social medicine is undertaken without the use of experimental animals, but it is not possible to cost this separately from the overall provision made for medical research from official sources.
