HC Deb 25 July 1983 vol 46 c280W
Ms. Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which organisations have been invited to comment on the proposals for updating the legislation on animal welfare.

Mr. Mellor

The recently published White Paper "Scientific Procedures on Living Animals", (Cmnd. 8883) which sets out the Government's proposals for updating the existing legislation, concludes with a general invitation to interested organisations or individuals to comment on the proposals. A number have already done so.
