HC Deb 26 May 1976 vol 912 c204W
Sir Bernard Braine

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his advisory committee is consulted by the Medical Research Council when the latter accredits firms engaged in the breeding of animals for research purposes overseas as to whether the conditions and legal control under which these animals are treated outside the United Kingdom conform to United Kingdom standards.

Dr. Summerskill

No; nor would this be appropriate to the functions of the committee.
