HC Deb 18 December 1985 vol 89 cc173-4W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on Government policy on psychological and behavioural experiments on animals in the light of the evidence sent to his Department on 9 May and 14 August by the Mobilisation for Laboratory Animals organisation.

Mr. Mellor

The Advisory Committee on Animal Experiments has been reviewing experimental work in psychology and behavioural science. As my noble Friend said in another place on 12 December 1985, at column 413, we are awaiting with interest the report of the committee's consideration of the subject.
