HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 c101W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the research to be endowed with public money under Sub-section (2) of Section 15 of the National Insurance Bill will include vivi-sectional experiments in cutting, maiming, mutilating, electrically stimulating, baking, and inoculating living animals, or whether he will accept an Amendment confining such public endowment to methods of research which do not involve vivisection?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The Insurance Commissioners, in whose discretion this matter would lie, will be responsible through the Treasury to Parliament for the administration of the Government Grant.
